      Yeah - we'd be building guillotines now but the treehuggers won't let us.

      If you are a supplier - you control how much you supply.
      You can only control demand by the prices you charge which are determined by the price the consumer is willing to pay.
      I remember all the bullshit about - well, as supply increases the price will go down. Draw your own conclusions. We will pay whatever we have to and the suppliers now realize that and also realize they do not have to compete to make money. Ever wonder how it is or was that all the stations increased their prices the same amount and at the same exact time ? And when the price of oil went up gas prices immediately followed but never went down the same way ? Now it just goes up no matter what oil does. Remember LIFO & FIFO, competition, free markets, etc. ?
      Miraculous how ALL those stations took delivery simultaneously the night before the prices changed the next morning. The whole process is very carefully orchestrated, is a monopoly and always has been especially since the independents have been forced out by the oil companies. I watched them doing it starting back in the 70's and they finally succeeded. Anybody have any numbers on how many independents are still around ? We know it, they know we know it, they have us by the balls and there's NOTHING meaningful we can do about it - at least in the short run.
      And they know that too.
      I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out which one of my 5 Hummers I have to sell - gotta do my part as a good American - you know - like me & Arnold.

      Options Trader: Tuesday Outlook
      I'm a fan when you talk investing. You are full of crap when it come to politics. You love Bushbashing but apparently you are not aware of the fact that here are 544 other people that run this country and anything that happens here (or does not) is STRICTLY because they want it that way. I don't know what your hopes are after the election but I would be more worried if Obama wins - you guys have not been paying attention as to what he SAYS he will do. You think it's bad NOW ? Guess you don't remember the 70's & 80's. I do. Good luck.

      When a Yield Sounds Too Good to Be True...
      I think this was an excellent article. Am basically an options trader but have been selling puts on stocks I want to own anyway that have good dividends - Canroys and soon to be a BAC holder - pretty sure (lol) the Jun 35 puts I sold will be exercised but I will have bought the stock at a discount. Personally I hate BAC as a former customer - was with them for 25 years - customer service got so bad and their record keeping so lame I quit. But they are still the 8 ton gorilla that makes a lot of bananas.

      Oil and the 'Bad News Principle'
      I don't know what an egghead is but I know one when I hear it when he closes with this:
      ----------------------...
      "As far as I am concerned, this can only be done by imaginative economic policies, designed and implemented by intelligent governments that accept the seriousness of the present situation and are capable of thinking in terms of both long and short-term realities"
      ----------------------...
      I'm surprised he didn't add "and only Obama can save us".
      I know he has fallen off his ivory tower and landed on his head.
      O'Reilly may be a "gasbag" but he makes more sense than you do.
      There is no possible way or any theory you can postulate that reconciles current supply/demand with oil prices. Some folks are making a lot of money - some of them will lose a lot - too much to hope it will be the same ones - the rest of us are footing the bill.
      God bless us all - worst country in the world - except for all the others !!!

      Why the Discrepancy Between Oil and Gold?
      misterchan:
      I can just as easily get anything with my guns and oil to run my car as you can get with your gold and I can get that too.
      It's not a consumable and the supply keeps increasing, it's hard to store (and protect), the industrial uses of it have declined compared to silver, rhodium, platinum, copper, etc.
      Oil on the other hand -

      Bank of America: Smarter Than We Think?
      Sorry blahblah - but your original post was way too simple for the RE (Don't worry - he'll never figure out who we're talking about) - too bad we can't draw little pictures for him but he probably would have trouble staying inside the lines anyway. I do the same as a means to get dividends and still get a return on a stock that is currently below what I want to sell it for. I also sell naked puts on stocks that I want to own anyway but I'm sure he'd NEVER figure that strategy out. I assume he's one of those poor little guys he refers to. I think we know who the REAL clown is !

      Is Steve Jobs Sick Again, or Just Thin?
      I am very saddened to be the one to have to tell all you concerned people but here it is: Steve Jobs is GOING TO DIE. But of course so are all of you and maybe even me. BFD. HP survived when he left there and so will AAPL. I can just see him hunched over that oscilloscope with that soldering nearby inventing, designing and building the next electronic marvel. Personally I doubt if he knows the difference between a resistor and a capacitor.

      Options Trader: Monday Outlook
      Of course being one of your "fans" I agree. Poor SAIFL - he's probably one of those poor souls who actually listens to the bullshit that GS et.al put out. And yet they seem to have problems defining their own problems. And he even quotes the gov concerning speculators. I did finish the 5th grade all on my own - I suspect he probably had to be pushed out of preschool. Idiot.

      Why the Oil Spike?
      Re: xtrader07
      And as far as Israel having nukes - would you rather they or Iran have them ? If Israel didn't have them do you think Iran might take advantage of Israel?
      Gee Lord Chamberlain - maybe we can send Obama or Carter to talk them out of it.
      Were you born yesterday ?
      Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just get along, beat our swords into plowshares, blah, blah ?

      Why the Oil Spike?
      Now I'm really confused.
      2 Million bbl/day short - EVERY DAY ????
      So after 1 month we are now 60 mill bbls short ?
      Where am I f**ked with my logic ???
      On the first day of the next month we will be 60 mill bbls short to start the day. So it appears there will have to be an increase of 2 mill bbls just to maintain a 2 mill bbls shortage the next day.
      Is not this shortage cumulative ?
      Bullshit - one of these some of these greedy bastards are going to have to take delivery or cover. And I ain't talking about the oil companies.
      When I see lines & gas stations going out of business like the 70's & 80's then I'll become a believer. That problem was also an artificially created problem else we should have run out of oil 20 years ago.
      It's the SPECULATORS stupid.

      Really, Really Bad News About Oil
      Sold my DUG options today - think I may have got lucky and timed it - but nobody ever went broke taking a profit.
      So you predicted the price of oil would be up 4 years ago ?
      Wow.
      I predict you will probably be just as _________ 4 years from now.
      I'm sure you will be able to predict what the blanks represent.
