Quote from S2007S:
Oil is being manipulated on a daily basis, look at where it trades right now, nearing $80 a barrel, its worth no more than $25-$30 bucks a barrel at most. Its also the fucking futures traders who are fucking up the commodity prices making the price of food soar over the last decade.
Quote from stock777:
What are the A-rabs gonna do if we refuse to pay more that $30 a barrel? Eat fucking sand? Same goes for Venezuela and the rest of them.
Quote from intradaybill:
You are worse than Marxist. You are a fool. You do not know how markets work. You have no idea, you are not educated, yet you want to call policies that affect billions.
You idiot, unless there is a speculator who is willing to take the risk, commercials cannot hedge. If you tax speculators or require that they take delivery there will be no more hedging opportunities in the markets and prices will skyrocket because of fear. But you are a hopeless idiot, with no education, no understanding of the markets, yet you have big idea about your stupid small brain that you know everything, when the truth is you are a sca**ug, a sh**head.
Edit: hey, sc**bug, read the following hedging example and tell me you sh**head, how could the farmer sell his contracts to hedge his sales should buyer speculators are not around to take the long side because they are required to get delivery or pay 60%. read you sh**head

it should be purely on supply and demand... small oil leak in some arab country which does not even supply oil to US causes $5 up move in oil thats not hedging going on its pure speculation...
compare all the bubbles in last 20 yrs and u will get ur answer
I completely disagree.Quote from S2007S:
I think we can all agree that the price of oil has very little to do with supply and demand and a lot more to do with speculation.
Oil at $80 a barrel tonight is a complete fucking joke.
