I will grant what you say with this modification: "In some cases, the speculator is the logistics manager..." ====== Let's take an example that everyone understands. Most people fill up the tank of their car when it starts getting low, possibly less than a quarter of a tank give or take. However, if there is talk of a possible shortage or a major price increase, many people would start filling up more often, oerhaps when half full or even 3/4ths. Does that make them speculators? The exact same thing happens with logistics managers who are hired to ensure adequate future deliveries. Does that cause an increse in demand and increased auction prices? Of course it does. Does that make them speculators? What's your point? Most people know how commodity suppliers and consumers lock in future prices. The fact is speculators run the show. 70% of oil contracts are held by Wall Street banks and hedge funds. Pure speculation by the one-percenters. They don't produce oil or buy it in bulk. They shuffle and trade paper to suck up money any way they can. The 99-percent provide the money when they pay for oil. That's the face of it. Put all the make-up you want on it. It's still the same face. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/05/1...explains-more- about.html Are you saying you want all commodities futures trading to be made illegal? The farmers would revolt. Only one who said that is you - cocksucker. Why are you so disagreeable? |
