Instead of everyone complaining and saying "oh daddy government...save me from these oil prices"....why don't they just hop on the bandwagon if they think this speculation will keep prices high? Put up 10K and buy a contract....or buy a correlated ETF if they don't want to pursue the futures...

That is a stoopid idea! lol...good one SWHiting! :D
