Oil Manipulations Exposed

I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer:
1) Why wasn't the SPR full in 2002?
2) Wouldn't NYMEX traders be the wealthiest people in the world by now?
3) If so, how do I become one?
4) Is everything a Bush-led conspiracy?

I'm just about tired of every columnist's political rant. They claim the Bush administration is full of bumbling morons that somehow conceive and execute complex (and ingenious) conspiracies to fleece the American public.

If traders, speculator, republican, democrats, or martians are manipulating the tech, real estate, commodity, or stock markets, I don't really care. As long as I know a market is being manipulated, I can profit off it.

So what's the trade here? XOM, HAL, GS, USO, ATK, BA?
