The only thing that bugs me is that gas companies are quick to put oil prices up but slow to let them down again, long may the downward fall continue!

I did short oil back in June and make money but I wish I had held on to those Contra Etf's. I wish I had the smarts to short oil from $140 to its present value.

We're finally talking about alternative fuels and the price of fuel plummets making those alternative fuel plans less seductive. Brilliant really of OPEC.

I know the reasons aren't for good reasons, but I am not complaining about how much less it is costing me to fill up a tank of gas. I can't imagine anyone else is either.

I think you're wrong. I think hedge funds and speculators drove the price into the stratosphere. Oil companies pump the stuff out of the ground but they don't set the prices...traders do that. Tyler,

Is this really how you believe the system works?

I think you’re wrong.

People are still short on cash and are learning a lot of hard answers right now - one of which is that oil fluctuates and it can/will go back up again. There is too much research coming to light about our Earth's resources and how long they might last. People who were never "greenies" are waking up to see that our environmental issues are really political issues - and oil is the perfect example of that. Americans are starting to see that using large amounts of oil w/o a plan to reduce that is un-American and will only hurt our country in the long run. I know when I'm using oil I'm padding the treasuries of the Saudi, Russian, Turkish governments and not my own US treasury. I don’t think Americans are that short-sighted.
