Why don't we all just become oil speculators?
Apparently it's a form of legalized theft.
We'd make so much money we wouldn't have to worry about gas prices.
Who's with me?
I thought 2001-2008 it was Bush's fault? What's changed? :whatever:

Presidebt 0bama can do no wrong.

Go for it, tater.
Show us how it's done.

Now that would be amusing as all Hell.
Stats I picked up on today's business news discussions: 'About 87 million barrels a day is the current world production. About 85 million barrels is the consumption.' Now, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that any political instability or other big trouble affecting any country that produces more than 1-2% of that daily production - or even on its routes to deliver the stuff into the world market - is going to have an immediate impact on the price people pay for it. It's not fatcat Capitalists speculating up the price while lighting their see-gars with C-notes, it's a world economy that is living paycheck to paycheck on oil production and Devil take the economy of any country that doesn't want to pay whatever it takes to get its own share of the pie.

What if a certain super smart presidebt were to cancel pretty much all oil projects, would that be called an instability?
What if same certain super smart presidebt were to diktate to his EPA Brown Shirts to shut down about 22% of the USA's refining capacity, would that be called an instability?
Let's be clear the world's biggest instability is a certain super smart presidebt. If the polls in July/August start to show 0bama going down look for the oil bubble to pop and the stock market to do the same.

Also, oil is bought in the world market with American dollars. Thanks to President Algae and The Bernanke, the dollar is very weak. You reap what you sow with quantitative easing. A lot of economic forecasters are saying that Obama's financial chickens will come home to roost in late Summer. That is why I am not sweating the primaries as much. Let Obama's bubble burst, have daily reminders that ObamaCare will be overturned, and a quick job market turnaround will be imminent.

There was a piece on Drudge yesterday that the debt limit will be reached just before the election. :fuelfire:

How convenient.

Sure, but I am really talking about the shooting kind of instability...what you are talking about affects us more than anyone else (Aside from the 'Priced in dollars' part that sybill mentions, which is an excellent point) because we are a net oil importer rather than a net oil exporter. If we were a net exporter in a market like that, China, India, and the EU would be screaming at Obumbles and playing every card they could to screw him and get him out of office as quickly as possible. He's more like a temporary nuisance to them in current market conditions...or, well, the phrase "Useful idiot" comes to mind - useful to them, not us, and only for the time being at that.

This is why children do not run thing. They, like the DUmpmonkies do not understand how economics works. Far easier to sit behind a keyboard and whine then to get the Government to ease taxes and environmental regs.

Become speculators, there is an office building at 4111 E. 37th St. North (http://www.kochind.com/) in Wichita that they can work at. Just send an application.

That reminded me of the time Taverner said, "let's all be hedge fund managers! All you need is a keyboard!"

Maybe they should convince 0bama to become an oil speculator? He's horrible at being a green energy speculator.

He could make a bundle if he shorted it.

Maybe they could convince 0bama to speculate on green energy on his own dime?
