Eisboch The apparent unlimited supply of gasoline. The price of gas started down the day after President Bush rescinded clintons off shore drilling ban. When the apparent supply was severely limited under the ban the price went up, when the apparent supply became unlimited without the ban the price went down. Simple economic theory. |

Then why were oil prices spiking last summer even as demand had dropped and supplies were rapidly climbing? Speculation, and it wasn't the people who store or refine who were doing it. |

Why aren't people speculating now? If it really has slowed down, it could be due to lack of funds for margin trading. |

Why aren't people speculating now? Ever heard the term bubble? Did folks continue to invest in .coms after the bubble burst? Are people rushing into the landholding business right now? Think there's a lot of liquidity out there for investing? |

Then why were oil prices spiking last summer even as demand had dropped and supplies were rapidly climbing? Speculation, and it wasn't the people who store or refine who were doing it. Why aren't people speculating now? Ever heard the term bubble? I remember when the Internet bubble started to burst, December 1999, and when it fully burst March 2000. Did folks continue to invest in .coms after the bubble burst? Yes they did and they still do. Are people rushing into the landholding business right now? The smart ones are. Real estate is cheap right now. Think there's a lot of liquidity out there for investing? Depends upon what you are invested in. |
