Default I'm glad fuel prices are dropping.

One thing I forgot to point out is that the prices for oil you hear quoted
in the news every day are for futures contracts. And that price is for a
contract to be delivered in the following month.

When we saw those $145/barrel prices, that was for futures contracts and
I'd bet no product actually changed hands at that price. That's where the
speculators lose money.




Bingo.
