Quote from Cesko:
Limitdown, are you long oil futures?? If not, why?????
Quote from limitdown:
Pearl Harbor (lest we forget)
Other reasons, including prior Presidential conduct under similar trying times, like Nixon, Bush I, Carter, Clinton, (Ford) in doing all they could to limit the abuse to the economy and country by price manipulation that is (so obviously) occurring now with fuel and fuel prices / availability.....
So, other than "pure-ists" trying to rationalize why not, what are the reasons to justify "why"?
After all, now we're asking the police to police the gas tanks, storage tanks, transport truckers and facilities from additional thefts due to higher prices being manipulated higher,
After all, if the Oil Companies were NOT to blame, then why their sky high profits? Shouldn't they still be barely scraping by?
After all, with the refineries being limited, and taking more than 4 years to come online, and being limited in production to less than 80%, thus keeping "prices at the pump" high and higher (predictably), hence the "manipulation arguement....
After all, with a relatively straight forward industry negatively impacting every facet of the economy and country, at what point does action become justified, radical action, if it even is radical?
After all, what could have been worse than the last eight years of absentee management that has allowed a domestic power to subjugate all to their monopolistic practices and false information dissemination through the financial press and media?
hmmmm

Why is the output of nationalist run oil countries falling?
Quote from Cesko:
It's funny, you know we simple traders wouldn't understand certain concepts but you don't understand other really simple stupid thing.
You are so sure that oil market is being manipulated YET YOU ADMIT THERE IS A RISK INVOLVED. So all those who bought oil futures are doing what traders are supposed to do.They took the risk. Where does manipulation fit into it?
You have absolutely no problem to contradict yourself.

Quote from limitdown:
there is something in extreme economics called: "systemmatic risk"
short of being in graduate school in an advanced finance class to discuss this topic, most of you traders and others, on these threads would never comprehend the concept, even if it took the twenty plus pages in a graduate textbook just to simplify the concept....
we are past that point, and what is so treasonous on the part of the Bush-II Administration / Oil Administration is they allowed the economy to get past this point....
The Federal Reserve, The Treasury in the persons of Bernanke, Poole, and others have been asailed in the financial press, televised media and other places as incompetent, and no longer relevent and incapable to stop the slide in the US Dollar, to control US interest rates, to effect the pricing of Oil and Fuel products based on the devalued US Dollar, and other insults.
Challenges like those to the systemmatic underpinings of the US financial system are tantamount to saying there is no faith and credit left in one's currency, hence a run on the banks and the currency. It is is a much dimminished level similar to saying curse words about one's mother or someone else important to them. When one challenges the system, and those responsible for protecting that system allow it, then what conclusion can be drawn?
A) foreign traders and trading houses treat that country's currency and things priced in that currency as worthless. Recall the Argentinian collapse of their currency
B) hard metal commodities become the choice of wealth protection (Gold, Silver, Platinum and other precious metals) instead of the primary country's products (Bonds, Currency, Stocks, Land / Real Estate, Business, etc)
C) Depression, whether regional, country wide or global becomes a clearer picture of continues "systemmatic risk"

just a word to those actually paying attention
