  • like a year ago gas wen down to $1.20 O_O

  • By this time next year, oil per barrel will be under $25.00.

  • The dollar is plunging? No shit! How do you think the Fed keeps interest so low but by creating (and thus debasing) currency? But of course these jackasses blame investors who are forced into commodities by that same Fed action.

    Think about it; if you are only getting a 2% return on cash, and oil was gaining 15-30%, you'd be insane not to buy oil (or gold, copper, etc.)

    IT"S THE FED, STUPID.

  • @sophiegromit Your statement is so riddled with false premises that I don't know where to begin refuting it.

    If foreign companies have an absolute advantage in producing a product, why wouldn't you change production to something in which you have an absolute advantage?

    Your presumption is that US workers are somehow locked into a career, which is patently false, but is also built on layers and layers of nearly impenetrable presumption. I haven't the characters to carve through the crap.

  • Want to make some real money trading oil? We have a great record. Google Oil Trading Academy or check out our profile. Come check us out

  • Yes... competition NOW with much poorer countries than us, who will work our jobs for a fraction of what U.S. workers used to make. Globalism is KILLING the U.S. worker, without question. You will see that as the U.S. simply cannot support it's citizens job creation-wise, we will become more of a welfare state, in order that people can survive and put food on the table! Global Capitalism SUCKS, plain and simple.

  • Of course... global capitalism means competition.

  • Use solar or Wind power.

  • IRAN opened up the IOB 8 weeks ago and is selling oil for EUROS. Gas prices are going DOWN for countries buy oil with EUROS because the Euro is getting stronger as the once-mighty petrodollar takes a nose-dive.

  • Wow! $3.40 a gallon

    I miss the good old days.
