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.

Speculation (buying inventory forward) is largely limited by storage
capacity. Once the tank farms approach full capacity, storage rates
start going up and it becomes increasingly expensive and risky. Same
thing with the threat of rising interest rates or increased margin
requirements. The real story is that the Saudi oil fields are pumping
at close to max capacity even though they will not publicly admit it.
The fun will start when it becomes obvious to everyone that the Saudis
can no longer pick up the pace to meet demand peaks,


It's a good argument for fuel efficiency and as many alternatives to
oil as we can find.

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
