Evidently, you haven't kept up with the news. They've determined that
our drilling everywhere in America will result in doing absolutely
nothing to affect oil or gas prices.

Read, learn, stop wasting our time with bull****.


I agree this is speculation, not a real oil shortage. The price could
go down as fast as it went up. All it takes is some symbolic gesture
that scares the speculators, like the Saudis dumping some extra oil on
the market or a quick resolution in Libya. (like someone shooting
Qdaffy)

Supplies have been going up since the start of the year, and so is the
price. That's nothing to do with supply/demand but speculation.

Has Morgan Stanley been investing in commodities again? These ****ing
manipulators should be sent to Guantanamo for some R&R.


Tax these sorts of short-term speculative gains on oil at 90%.


You idiot, the futures market is a world wide market. It doesn't matter
if US Citizens are buying futures or not, the price is determined by
investors all over the world.


Did he say that we should tax offshore investors?

Do we tax profits made in US stocks if the investors aren't Americans?

Who's the idiot?

Who owns those supplies and why did they build their inventories?
You might be surprised to learn that the motives might have more to do
with availability than price. If so, that's commendable . No one
wants to be caught short or stuck in lines at the station. In any
case, building inventories is a self limiting process because there is
only so much capacity.

They want to tap it to draw down its capacity to reduce our ability to

We should be tapping the Gulf of Mexico, ANWR, the East and West

Then all short term speculative gains should be taxed at the same rate.
Your gains from the time you were at Ullico should have been taxed at
this rate. You remember, the gains you had which enabled you to purchase
your Zimmerman like Lobasta' boat.

If you will notice I didn't say you made the gains off of Ullico, I said
you made the gains while you were at Ullico.

Why should we tax US citizens in a punitive manner for engaging in a
world wide market? This is the problem. The individual risked their
money and they should reap the benefits of that risk.

I assume that you would be all for paying 90% of what is left from your
operating costs in taxes. And, no I am not talking about just your
profits.

It doesn't matter if we tax US investors at 100% on their short term oil
speculations, it will NOT have an impact on the world wide futures price
of oil.

Now try to figure out why this is correct. Here is a hint, the US
doesn't control all investors or investment markets in the world.


Wrong. If there's a significant disincentive to trade in speculative
markets brought on by a stiff tax, how much of that speculative
market's assets are going to be removed from trading?

You think a market moves up and down regardless of how many investors
take an interest in the commodity?

Think again.

You mean there's only so much storage capacity. Wasn't Morgan Stanley
manipulating some commodity a couple of years ago by purchasing and
storing it's own supplies?

How's that fit your model? Pure freaking speculation.
