To our Canadian & U.S. marketers Note from our Mid-Atlantic energy analyst guru: "...the market will not see a further meaningful increase in crude oil without some weakening of the dollar. Also, natural gas will be hard pressed to move with conviction until the cost of capital (as indicated by the rate on the benchmark ten-year bond) rises."

2-6-17 Is Alaska Continuing To Become The Worst Investment Climate In The United States?

By wpnorthern|2017-02-06T13:02:27-09:00February 6th, 2017|Alaska's Fiscal Crisis, Alaskanomics, Commentary, Rule Of Law|

One could fairly ask if, "Alaska Is Continuing To Become The Worst Investment Climate In The United States". We hope not, but the question is reasonable. The question is reasonable because for over two decades the University of Alaska's Institute of Social and Economic Research has warned decision makers to control spending. Over three decades ago, Common Sense for Alaska urged prudence in taxing and spending policies.

Overtaxing Is As Bad As Overfishing Alaska Journal of Commerce by Andrew Jensen Dating back to before statehood, Alaskans know that overfishing is a bad thing.
