OTC's losess created a negative externalities because hedge funds and other speculators were forced to fliy to cash, either with or without a yearly positive return.

If you are going to blame the manipulation in the crude market for such volatility, then you should post about the index funds, not the hedge funds who, according to the CFTC, there is no evidence of price manipulation by those institutuions.
