  • Expect a New Direction for Crude Oil [View article]
    Oil has been a scam for 9 years now. The scam has been feed by CNBC, they never debate it, its just all oil bulls they bring on. They drove the money into oil. As journalist they should report the scam instead of feeding it.

    All they have to do is read the report to see how high our inventories are, and bash the scam. After months of builds in Natural Gas supplies, yesterday we had a little draw, Sharon Epperson of CNBC screamed a big draw. Price went up 8.17%.
    Why do we need some economist to give his or her guess before any report? This alone is bullshit, can't the market market its own decision about the Government numbers?

    Fadel Gheits is the one guy that CNBC won't bring on.

    FG: Two things. Oil prices have not been driven by supply and demand
    fundamentals for years. This was exacerbated by the incredible influx of
    money from financial players into the commodity markets over the last
    five
    years and especially oil, which basically created the oil bubble that we
    had
    last year. Supply and demand fundamentals are beginning to play a
    secondary
    role now in oil prices. Financial players have much more clout and
    basically
    manipulate-influence, if not manipulate-oil prices; that is very clear.
    That's why we have the investigation by the CFTC and all the hearings. I
    am
    not holding my breath to see any changes because the politically
    motivated
    individuals and the incredible lobbying by financial institutions make it
    very, very difficult to regulate or enforce regulations in the books to
    stem
    that incredible increase in financial institution influence on the
    commodity
    prices.
