You could even ignore supply and demand and think about the most logical fundamentals. Oil was what, 30-40 a barrel before war? Let's see, Bush didn't raise taxes for the war, the fed cuts rates like there's no tomorrow (until recently), credit crisis, fed injects billions in liquidity to bail out the banks. Hmm, gee I guess dollars just grow out trees, literally. Or maybe...just maybe...after years of getting beaten down, the dollar is finally getting its ass kicked. And what monetary unit is oil based on? Hmm, Ron Paul just may have point. Time to get the hell out of the US, move to China like Jim Rogers.
