CFTC Attempts to Overhaul Futures Markets

well considering what they have to done us last year in just oil alone, which cost us as a group billions! i don't see what the purpose is for those who have no desire to take delivery of the commodity is? they are not helping those in the market manage their costs. so other than as a way to make money, they are just manipulating the cost and driving it up as they do that.

Oil at $50/bbl: Where to from Here?

while oil may go up, we will actually have to see some demand growth as opposed to today's relentless demand destruction. and even while that destruction was gathering steam, it seemed oil was sky rocketing, leading to the obvious conclusion there was a lot of speculation in the market. and since the oil market has so many dark markets and nobody really knows how much oil they really have or what any body else has pr has shipped (proprietary info of course!) it makes a free market impossible because too many are gaming it. so can oil sky rocket again? sure just get some speculators going again!! course they will have to find some capital to do it this time on their own. the investment banks are gone
