Oil took a 10% dive today as speculators started

selling off
positions
out of fear the top price has been seen.

These speculators should have to pay a huge tax on

their
profits since
they're causing so many Americans to pay inflated

prices at
the pump
and causing inflation in every sector of retail.


NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in

a historic
selloff,
erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the

months-long
climb in
energy prices may have hit a ceiling.

Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors

unloaded
their
positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into

an outright
freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple

digits to
double
digits, falling below $100 after opening at close

to $110.
Brent
crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point

in a
sell-off that
exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers'

collapse, Reuters
reported.

An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the

price is
moving
toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it

should
be. For the
American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising

energy prices
that have
begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of

respite may
be at
hand.

You know the old adage, gas prices go up like a

rocket and
fall like a
feather
Yes, I also know the story about Chicken Littlle
Having nothing to do with what we are talking about.

It is a fact that gas prices go up with oil prices but

they lag
the
fall of oil prices by several weeks or even months.
If oil dropped to $60 tomorrow, gasoline might not

reflect that
for a
month or more.
Chicken Little was afraid of the sky falling. Right

wing nuts are
convinced the world is ending and rising oil prices are
supposedly an
example. Totally appropriate comment.
`
The world isn't ending, but we are losing value in the

dollar and
that
shows up in oil or anything else we import. You can live

in denial
if
you like.

Yet the price of oil is dropping... I guess my denial is

working.
Let me know when you get the gas prices down to two bucks.

Thanks a
bunch
I can remember when we considered $2 gas to be expensive.

It was
only 10 or 11 years ago.

I paid $4.30 for gas today... I don't see anything coming

down, any
time
soon...


I paid $2.97 something for 23 gallons today. It really must

suck to be
you. That was at Shell, with a dollar a gallon discount

courtesy of
shopping at the supermarket.

Bull****. That's 10 cents a gallon discount. You are a ****ing

liar of
you say you get a dollar a gallon off.

LOL, It is obvious that Harry Krause is losing it. You know he

didn't
want to make such a blatant mistake, but his mind is slipping

big time.
He read somewhere about a discount, but he couldn't remember

the amount,
so he guessed it was a $1 off



Talk about morons...jesus.

Gas is currently selling for about $3.89 to $3.97 a U.S. gallon

around here.

I paid $2.97 a gallon the other day. That's a dollar a gallon

discount.

Giant offers 10 cents off a gallon at Shell for each $100 you

spend at
the supermarket. Thus, if you spend $1000, you get a dollar a

gallon
discount.

You dumb****s can't even handle simple grade school math.



Bull****. They do the same here, and that's not the way it works.

You
never get more than a dime a gallon off. You are a ****ing liar.

Here's
how it works. When you spend 100 bucks at the store, you get 10

cents
off a gallon for 100 gallons. If you spend 1000 at the store, you

get 10
cents off a gallon for 1000 gallons. Idiot.


Are you saying the man is a liar? Maybe he's just suffering from
dementia.


Yes I am saying he's a liar. He's been caught in so many lies here that
no one except Don believes his bull****.
