    Oil Falls Below $125 as U.S. Fuel Supplies Gain, Demand Drops

    Now, it may be because I am new to the game, but isn't this just simple supply and demand? Won't oil settle at $80-90 because a solid chunk of Americans are cutting back on their demand, since no one will buy gas at $4/gal?

    Will Gas Ever Go Back to $2.00-$2.50?

    Problem with that is we will eventually need nuclear power. Solar and wind (at current efficiency) can only produce so much. As a nation we keep growing, I don't see a solution where nuclear energy ISN'T part of the equation.

    Will Gas Ever Go Back to $2.00-$2.50?

    This weekend I was down at school, and had to put gas in the car for the drive back. Gas at home is $3.88, at school, $3.75. I put in $25 (I am a college kid, after all), and my girlfriend asks, "Why don't you just fill it up?" I responded, "I will not until gas goes back under $3." So that...

    Dow really a good indicator of the economy?

    I have been recently hearing both sides of the coin on this one. Is the DOW really a good indicator, or is the S&P something more reliable in terms of measuring the economy? I was curious to see what the good people at ET thought about this.

    You can give someone everything

    As probably the person who most recently graduated from high school on this forum, I'd have to say that there are classes required in Economics. In those classes they basically say "save save save" as we did a lot of activities with IRA's and how you'll earn $1M more than someone who doesnt...

    Bennigan's / Steak and Ale shut down

    I hear the reason they went out was two fold: 1) Their only productive CEO (name escapes me) left to start Chili's 2) They went from a bar that had food to a restaurant that served drinks

    Oil-to-Gas Multiplier?

    Does any one know if there is some sort of Price of Oil-to-Price of gas multiplier? For example crude's price raises $1.00, which then forces gas prices to raise by $.XX. Just a random thought that popped in my head. Any answers?

    from Microsoft Vista back to XP?

    I used to be a Staples Easy Tech Guy, I can tell you XP is much smaller, and there are those "Ways to maximize XP" books for about $20 that really make the thing fly, especially with 2GB of RAM. If you really want an OS you can shake a stick at, try Linux. It is light as a feather and can...
