As my good friend and fellow investor says "just don't park your car with the oil leak in the driveway."

I personally would not purchase a house with an underground oil tank.

The investors I dealt with were weary of all of those [junk] quote requests that were essentially flooding in-- they would see the same ones over and over.Now that the "gurus" are no more, it seems to me that the note business in general (to those who are exposed to it) no longer evokes an image of slick-talking "snake oil" salesmen and that's so refreshing to me because I'm a long-term note guy.

Hi Oliver, welcome to BP.

FYI she was laid off from an oil job.

What Bill said at 2am (burning the oil, eh?).

Hey everyone my name is Rene Olive.

the bubble "pop" ain't happening. when you've got a decrease in home prices not seen since the depression, it's bound to come back up.I find it comical where everybody fears a bubble yet at this time last year I was speaking of how we will see a double digit increase soon. all of the "BP nation" told me I was on drugs and that "the experts" don't expect that for some time.I hear a lot about the govt being in debt & I agree - they're incompetent fools yet the value of this country - just based upon precious metals, oil, etc puts us at an infinite number. we ain't going anywhere.and let's just say the housing market does crash. good!

After the short-lived oil boom that ended 2 years ago there have been an unbelievable amount of foreclosures, which means an unbelievable rental increase in the area. 

Halfway through a second semester I was offered a job in the oil industry as a Field Engineer for Schlumberger Well Services.
