oil being taken to the woodshed here.

nasty spike down in crude news?

nice call on PCLN.

Here is what is on my mind, 80% of the population makes less than 50 k per year, take 30% off for taxes divide by 12 and you get an idea how high gas prices act as a tax on disposable income. Want a pair trade? its right there. http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2010
