Options Trader: Thursday Outlook

User 143167: you are a freaking genius. You're right. It's not manipulation, it's pure market fundamentals. Due to the current state of the world economy people are driving less, flying less, consuming less oil (even China!), and... the price of the barrel of oil is low, and purely on fundamentals. How dumb I was to think that oil at $146 was price manipulation! These ethical oil traders would never do that to us. Kudos to you for your wisdom. Thanks for sharing, I'm sure nobody here knew about this. Wow.

As far as the White House goes, we all better get used to McSame. I have to give it to them: "Hockey Mothers for Palin Power" is one of the biggest idiocies I've seen in a while, but Palin was the bomb last night. Her appeal was great, and that's all it takes sometimes to win an election.

Give it to the Republicans: politically they're a lot smarter than the dems. Unless, the dems really wanted to lose this election on purpose, as I'm starting to believe.

So, Phil, the oil bouce back to $110 won't last long. Thank goodness the downward pressure is still on.

Your article "The Oil Shortage, and Other Fairy Tales" published here on May 22, 2008 is the best piece of literature published this year. Man, you're good, I just wish you wouldn't hope so much for politics to change significantly the status quo. Not with these candidates. Our options are simple:
a "community organizer" versus a "war monger".

Tough choice.
