America, fuck yeah?

This is the downsiest, most syndromiest thing I've seen in a long time:

STOP OIL SPECULATION NOW


IF YOU ROLL A DICE AND YOU KEEP BETTING ON THE HIGHER NUMBERS YOU MAKE THOSE NUMBERS COME UP MORE.

Apparently, my post wasn't good enough:

I'm an American girl. I used to suck one, maybe two, dicks tops to pay for gas for the week, now it's closer to six or seven. Is this what God wanted? Is this America? Sometimes I even have to service Negro clients. God damn oil speculators. God damn all those New York Jews keeping me on my knees.

too bad speculation on oil is only wanted by those making cash on it and driving up prices for the rest of the country

sure they will move to something else to speculate, but it doesnt drive the market like they claim

your oil prices in america are funny, i can only dream they were that cheap here. Are you lot poor or something? I drive a small hatchback and it costs the equivalent of $120 for me to fill up. It's not like i can't afford it, its only really hitting the professional hauliers.

From what I've read it seems most of the increase in oil price is real. But do not you think futures speculation exaggerates, even a little, the sharp movement in oil and other commodities? Certainly the rate of current oil production depends on future price expectations. For a product with highly inelastic demand we don't need much of it to be pulled off the market to affect the price, no?

First, it was the oil companies and when that didn't stick, they are now trying to blame speculator's. Start looking at the morons in congress, who are the biggest finger pointers, acting as though they have absolutely nothing to do with the situation.

the more expensive the oil situation gets, the greater the incentive to focus on alternative fuel vehicles, which is positive.

"the more expensive the oil situation gets, the greater the incentive to focus on alternative fuel vehicles, which is positive."

Not totally positive when biofuel production contributes towards the rising food prices. xD

Oppo said...

biofuel is a joke.

a clean infrastructure for it doesn't exist, which means the production of biofuel costs more in fuel than...well...production of fuel.

Drives food prices up, eliminates 'unharvested' land (read: Rainforests) in poor countries and is really only effective at making eco-activist liberals 'feel good'...which is probably the best argument against it.

Speculation only mirrors demand. Professional speculators really don't take the risks that many associate with the trade, instead these decisions are made based on researching and forecasting demand.

Oh, and as anyone who took a high school economics class will tell you, cutting back on investment will only hurt the supply even further. Instead we need to increase the supply. Even the knowledge of a chance supply could be increased in several years will cause prices to fall. This was proven today with falling oil prices after the president's speech yesterday that nullified the executive order to prevent more offshore drilling (only ONE of two bars... Congress also has a bar on drilling).

Hmm, I'm not sure the lifting of the presidential ban is entirely responsible for the drop. The WSJ is pointing to an OPEC report that suggests growth in world oil demand is slowing amid faltering economic growth and increased fuel conservation (at least in the short term).

As an aside, you know that this off-shore oil won't be accessible for a good ten years, right? It's also pretty expensive to extract, and so relies on the price of oil remaining high.

This still isn't true even if you change Dice to Die.

I like how raddy takes every opportunity possible to imply that he's rich or makes a lot of money.

My guess is he makes 70k a year.

Tiago said...

speculation is one of the main reasons, why the oil price is so high today. it is just not possible that alone with demand of oil growing up the price almost duplicates in 1 year

I live in Spain and I just paid 65 euros (around 100 US dollars) to fill the tank. And that's using the cheapest gasoline (95 octanes), if you use diesel or a higher octane one it's even worse.

Shit 95 octane? Maybe that's one of the many reasons it costs so much more in Europe than here (other than much higher taxes and less local production).

Man the price of a barrel is still dropping but the most I've seen pump prices drop here around Chicago is 5 lousy cents.
