Quote from Enfinity:
Anyone that thinks oil is high because the Treasury...NOT the Fed...is printing dollars is plain ignorant.
The relative value of the dollar against other currencies has nothing to do with any printing press!

Quote from The Kin:
Too much fucking nonsense on ET. I dare anyone to pull up a chart of crude priced in Gold. It's fucking obvious that a major reason for the rise in price of crude is due to a decline in the purchasing power of the dollar. This including declines in most other fiat currencies. It's proof that the Fed is not doing it's job.
When crude was priced in the teens not to long ago, how come no one was complaining about speculators driving the price lower? It sounds like people seem to think speculators only get involved when the price rises.
Lastly, why is it so fucking hard to understand the concept of Supply & Demand. Crude oil has also been shown to be highly inelastic in terms of price and demand, so Crude will continue to rise in real terms until supply greatly exceeds demand. Any drop in oil inventories is proof that prices need to go higher. Once inventories show a consistent buildup for several months, then and only then will price start to fall.

Quote from limitdown:
thanks for the clarifcation and correction,
I submit that I got that wrong,
I also submit that Reg T margin at $2,000 being raised to $25,000 by means of the new PDT Rule represented a 12,500% increase in frequent trade margins. ($2,000 * 12500.00)

2000 to 25000 is a 1150% increase.
