I also think you're overstating the importance of Lebanese domestic politics to the oil markets. Hariri's assassination didn't have much of an impact on the oil price; nor did the Nahr al-Bared battle. Israel doesn't have much appetite for another confrontation with Hizbollah, and it's far from clear that the US would gain anything at all from a military intervention in Lebanese politics - State is well aware that meddling more would just make them look like craven imperialists out to get the Muslims, and whatever you may think of the Americans, they aren't *that* stupid.

I think you're just kicking up dust 'cos you're long the market.]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:36:58 -0500

Moreover, given that the US fuel ethanol industry was pretty much invented by ADM - which happens still to be the biggest single producer - the idea that this is realistically going to prevent the market being dominated by large producers is utterly laughable.

Pareto distributions - you familiar with them? They occur in nature for a reason. ]]> Tue, 04 Sep 2007 08:22:54 -0400
