The Role of Speculators "Oil should be trading at sixty five to seventy dollars a barrel, a great deal of the increase is coming from excessive speculation"... Michael Master, Masters Capitol Management Portfolio Manager... So now the truth comes out in a Senate Investigation, oil prices didn't rise to over a hundred dollars a barrel due to short supplies, they increased due to speculation. "A barrel of oil should be selling for about $65 dollars a barrel"... Fadel Gheit, Managing Director and Senior Oil Analyst at Oppenheimor and Company. JamesLee 26June 2008 It seems that the Index Speculators have taken over the Commodities Market... at our expense. |

Aha! The truth is out! We should all get a refund from the speculators. Nah, that's just capitalism at work. Perhaps we should have the legislators (and I use the term lightly in this regard) dig deep into their own pockets! Hugs to you, Hawaii Man, Linda |

I think the rise of oil price is a good thing for the health of the planet even if it a lot of troubles for people....These troubles would have been worse later....People are not reasonable, society will have to be creative now and stop to ruin the Mother Earth like stupid children who don't care about nothing... Thank you for your constructive poem... yann |

Enjoyed your thoughts, James. I think maybe yann is right. Though it is going to be very difficult, perhaps it is time to change a few things. Ida |
