  • Great way to divert the attention of your protesting masses...start a war. Get your hands on some Israeli ordinance..plant it on one of your ships...boom...instant blame. Heck getting Mubarack out of the way might have been the militaries plan all along in cahoots with Lybia and Iran to finally have an excuse to attack Israel.
    Dang my tin foil hat looks good today.

  • The rollover from march(CLH1) to april(CLJ1) contracts is also helping this volatility. Question here is if 85-85,11 breakout on CLH1 will hold for the remainder of the session, we´ll see.

  • I must be a bit ignorant here. Why is it a "provocation" for 2 Iranian Warships to use the Suez Canal? Why is CNBC going crazy, and the market going down on this? Either warships are allowed to use it, and Iran is allowed to use it, or not. The only provocation I can envision is if they are "forcing" their way through, which is nonsense. What am I missing. Help! I wasn't even aware that Israel bordered the north side of the canal (and I'm still not). WTF?

  • Did that yesterday. Still higher than that. But I'm with you. Expect full recovery by session end.

  • What your missing is a brain that can't think rational and use logic and makes decisions based on the idiots at cnbc. I assume you don't enjoy the channel but use it for market decision makeing. Turn off the logical part of your brain and think like the herd.
