      A Dark Morning
      Save More? How about stay afloat. Sure energy prices have come down (unless you heat with heating oil) but many Americans have been living off of plastic and home equity. the well has dried up and now people will have to cut back on all types of spending and learn to live within their means (a good thing). Saving might take place in a few years but a lot folks will lose their jobs and everthing they own by then.

      Crude Inventories: Largest Weekly Build Since March 2001
      To Ernie M. The national average price for gas has dropped about .35, not a dollar. Oil may very well go to $150-$200 a barrel----and probably stay there for a week as the world economy implodes. If people in India are buying the new $2500 Indian made car, what makes you think they can afford $10 a gallon gas?

      Natural Gas Prices Set To Surge - Canaccord
      I sleep just fine and I'm not eating cat food--yet. My 401K has taking a beating this year and Fidelity only gives me a few options. I read these blogs to try to be more informed. What I find is pretty big disconnect between the folks who can afford to sit around using money to make more money vs people who actually WORK for what they earn like most of the working stiffs in this country. Commodities like energy, grains etc.. have been at the mercy of outside monies lately and just when things look like they might start reflecting their true value based on supply and demand we get talk like nat'l gas in undervalued. Make your money while you can because when the middle class finally disappears this country is done.

      Natural Gas Prices Set To Surge - Canaccord
      As someone who lives in the upper midwest and heats an older home with nat'l gas let me be the first to offer congrats to those of you who see profits off the backs of people on fixed incomes who can't afford to heat their homes. This despite continued reports stating how much nat'l gas reserves within our own borders and yet the price has still tripled in the past 5 years. How do you people sleep at night?

      Too Soon to Re-enter Oil Stocks?
      Glad to hear cook503 is going to load up on nat'l gas, it's not like half the country heats their homes with it and the price has already tripled in the past 5 years. As long as you make money, who cares who pays the difference.

      0 for 4: Oil Analysts Surprised by Everything
      I follow the weekly reports and the "analysts" are wrong far more often than not, frequently in the completely wrong direction. Their prediction success rate wouldn't land them a job in the weather forecasting business. And they probably get paid far more than I do.

      Is Natural Gas Down for the Count?
      Please keep in mind while you argue about how much money you can make off of N.Gas that most of the northern half of this country heats with N.Gas and heating costs have aready tripled in the past 5 years. 80,000 customers in Minnesota had their utilities cut off April 1 this year because they couldn't pay their bills over the winter months. Combined with higher (auto)gas and food prices, the number of cut offs could be in the millions next winter. The same goes for home heating oil. Elderly people on fixed incomes don't the room for high heating costs, I believe that N.Gas should be off limits for investors looking to make a fast buck, stick to messing with the other commodities.

      The Oil Bubble Will Meet the Same Fate as Tech, Housing
      India's economy is already showing signs of trouble, China has been subsidizing gas prices as have many of the surging economies. Infrastructure for all these new cars isn't in place. Once the Olympics are over and the world's eyes aren't focused on China I think that their overheated economy will hit some bumps in the road. High oil prices will ultimately kill world demand or at least slow it down. But gee wiz, if Goldman Sachs says oil will hit $800 a barrel then surely it will.

      Gas Lines Coming This Fall
      paulk8756, give it a rest. The Republicans had control of the white house AND both houses of congress for 6 of the last 8 years. The result, the country's in the worst shape of my lifetime (I'm 49). It's great for blood suckers like yourself who sit around and scheme of ways to make more money at others people's expense. For the people of America who actually WORK for the money that they earn, the Republican years have been a kick in the nuts.

      The Brightest Stars in the Commodities Boom, Part Two
      People who claim super high MPGs with the Pious (oops Prius) are using the on-board mileage computer which as is with most computers wildly inaccurate. EPA uses actual fuel amounts placed in the fuel tank and then calculates MPG based on fuel used. Prius's are useful for in-town driving, try passing a truck at Interstate speeds and see how far that 1.6 gas engine gets you. I have an 2003 VW TDI and have gotten 845 miles on 16.1 gallons for a 52.5 MPG average city/hwy. Prious's are a feel-good status symbol that many Americans could never afford.

      An Alternative to America’s Gasoline Crisis
      Um, natural gas prices are at the highest levels since Katrina thanks to the speculator express. Blame the Dems? The Republicans controlled congress and the white house for 6 of the past 7.5 years and our country has gone down the tubes. The wealthy (including all of you investor types) having gotten richer while the average American has been losing ground for years.

      NYMEX: Speculators Aren't Driving Oil Market
      A report I heard yesterday said that 95% of all futures contracts aren't by actual end users. Futures buyers can buy on margin of as little as 5%. I thought that buying anything with those kind of margins ended with the great depression. The Dems have controlled the congress for less than a year and half and any attempts to undo the Bush admistration's messes have been vetoed or filibustered. The republicans had complete control of both houses of Congress for 6 years and our country is in the worst shape since the 1930's. We give the oil companies tax breaks, they have record profits and spend most of it buying back shares instead of exploring new sources, researching alternative fuels etc.. All the while selling distillates to foreign countries while our truckers pay record prices on diesel. The greed that controls our economy is mind blowing.

      $100 Oil: Analysts Out of Sync With Traders
      Same old story. The rich get richer, the rest of us bend over, and the economy goes down the toilet. Commodity traders need to be reined in, no oversight by anyone and they have ability to wreck the economy while laughing all the way to the bank. The folks in this country that actually work for a living are paying the price. The numbers and dynamics are virtually identical to last January when oil was $55 a barrel. It's all about greed.
