I'm just glad Obama has the whole gas price thing totally under

speculators that drive up the price of oil at the slightest thing.
Bush halved the price of gas by opening offshore drilling.

Except, since the oil that is produced from US offshore sources is marketed
globally, what really happens here is it gets sold to the highest bidder,
just like the oil that's produced any other place in the world, and since
gulf sources only amount to appx 3% of total global supply--the reality is
that even if the US were to quadruple current extraction rates it would
hardly make a dent.

I guess then that explains perfectly why the Dow has risen ~50% since the

"This is the same firm that in 2008 said oil prices were headed for $200.
That was the year of the great commodities spike. Though the barrel never
reached $200, it cleared $147 that June. By then, you can bet a lot of the
big funds were laughing all the way to the bank, leaving latecomers with
long positions that quickly turned sour."
IMO
Don't walk away..
RUN if you've been speculating for ever higher oil prices because when the
bottom drops most likely it's going to be another freefall and those left
holding the bag will again be toast.
Perhaps right now, but the huge spike and subsequent fall that occured near
the end of Bush's term was caused purely by unbridled speculation and

He must know that the guys on Wall Street have been applying pressure
through their henchmen, the republicans, to make sure that Obama can't
get the regulations put in place on speculators that he wants. The rich
guys are not allowing the new rules on reckless speculation to go into
effect. Maybe that's what they mean today by the invisible hand.
Hawke
Apparently you know nothing about the oil market. What happens when more
oil drilling is done in the gulf coast? The Saudis reduce production.
This causes prices to remain the same. Oil is oil no matter where you
drill it. It's all part of the world supply. Which happens to be in
excess right now. Oil is stockpiled in Oklahoma and is sitting there in
vast quantities. Drill offshore and get more supply and what happens?
Nothing. The prices are determined by the oil futures market not supply
or demand. Demand is down yet prices are up. All of this really should
tell you one thing. More drilling in the U.S. or offshore won't do a
damn thing to affect gasoline prices. But you would know that if you
understood the oil market. So why would you be criticizing others when
you're even more lacking in knowledge than those you criticized.
Hawke
Shit, that's an easy one. He's a conservative, which means they say one
thing and do the opposite. They're all for family values and morality
until they don't feel like paying attention to them. Goober was all for
everyone paying their own way. Right up until he couldn't do that for
himself. You'll notice that he still thinks that. It's just that his
principles don't really mean anything.
Hawke
All the republican candidates might as well say the same thing. None of
them has a chance of being elected. Presidential elections all come down
to popularity contests and this group of republican contenders is the
worst I've ever seen in my life. Not a one of them has anything to
recommend them. This election is already over. It's Obama for four more
years. The country breathes a sigh of relief.
Hawke
And as usual you are seeing that business does better when Democrats are
in power. Just look how lousy business did under Bush's handling. It's
doing great now. Profits have been soaring for more than a year. By the
way, jobs have been growing for 14 straight months too. That's the good
news. The bad news; pay for workers has gone up 2% in the last year, but
it's gone up 27% for CEOs. That's just the way republicans want it.
Hawke
It's Mitt's turn.
That's all there is to it. That's the way the Republican Party works.
Mushmouth Barber is too well set to want to do more than make money. He'll
only get into the primary contest if there is money on the other side.
He doesn't want to be the President of the United States.
Pawlenty might or might not have what it takes but he's a wet noodle and

A month or so ago, when things were heating up in the mideast and oil
was rapidly climbing in price, Obama contemplated (out loud) opening
the Strategic Petrolem Reserve. The NEXT DAY, OPEC announced that it
was raising its production level, and the price more-or-less
stabilized.
This supply and demand myth is complete bullshit.

Oh really? did you also notice that the consumption of gasoline has
dropped dramatically since the price has risen? Is that also a myth?
Hasn't happened here.

Richard Lamb
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~capri26
It's dropped around 1.9% for the year, according to MasterCard Advisors,
which is the gold standard for weekly price and consumption levels. That's
not exactly "dramatic."
However, there is some consumption sensitivity to price. The other way
around, though, doesn't work. Price is not very sensitive to consumption.
It's the result of political situations, the OPEC cartel, financial
speculation, and other supply manipulations.
If price was truly sensitive to consumption, price would be dropping right
now. So the standard supply and demand model, for gasoline, is about 1/2
myth.

The point I was making is that OPEC announced their intention to
increase production the day after Obama spoke about opening the
reserve. What that says to me is that there is not, nor has there ever
been, any shortage, other than one caused by OPEC manipulating the
market.
How that affects price is a matter that I'll leave to the rest of you.
IOW, a coordinated effort by the puppets (Arab despots) and
puppetmaster to 'talk down' the price. It never lasts for long if the
fundamentals are moving the other way.

I don't completely follow that statement. Did he mean that *demand* was
elastic up to $1.65/gal? Because, if he meant price, then what was
controlling price when it went above $1.65/gal? Supply alone?
He may have been saying, indirectly, that price and demand operate
classically and elastically when there is plenty of supply, but that
variations in supply unhitch the connection and drive prices above what
would be normal, if demand was exerting its normal market force.
The thing is, supply is controlled partly by puppet masters and partly by
non-market forces -- or by financial market forces that overwhelm true
supply/demand forces. And demand is only moderately sensitive to price, but
it is more sensitive to the state of a given economy. Demand will fall off a
lot more when an economy is in trouble than when prices rise.
The puppet masters manipulate something that *looks* like market forces at
work. But it's mostly manipulative, and based on the strategic goals of the
country, company, or other institution that has the power and the interest.
The history of oil prices tells a very complex tale. If you try to explain
it all with market forces, you wind up with something that looks like the
Ptolemaic model of the universe.
I heard a dose of this stuff when I worked for _Platt's Oilgram_ at
McGraw-Hill, but, like high finance and commodities trading, the thing I
learned is that it takes years of exposure to really understand what's
happening. I don't claim to be able to analyze it. All I can remark about is
how much it departs from basic, standard economics models. It's a long reach
from them to the way the oil market works.

(Having just had his numbers rammed down his throat, once again, Gunner does

about 20% of our consumption. What's your plan for doing that, Gunner?
--
Ed Huntress
I'd have to check my notes from way back, but I think he was talking demand.
Of course, at that time we didn't see so much blatant market manipulation.

Limbaugh was talking about that the other day...he had come to the
conclusion that the Left is both evil..and incompetent.
All they are going to do is crash the nation.
(then they will be killed enmass)
If that's your criterion, Gunner, then you must think that Britney Spears is
a great artist, and that you're a circus clown. d8-)

Trump is good at promoting himself and hustling. He's never invented
anything or created anything of value, IMHO. His specialty is highly
leveraged deals that pander to the worst aspects of our society. When they
go belly up, he seems to walk away unscathed. Warren Buffett has created
value and also made many of his investors rich. I respect the latter.
As I said, in the NYC area, The Donald is our favorite con man. He was
entertaining while he was exchanging wives and filling the scandal pages,
but he wore kind of thin, like his hair.

Ed Huntress
Notice how Ed once again avoids the hard questions?
<VBG>
Typical of him.
Speaking of those that pander to the worst aspects of our society..how
are the Clintons doing these days?
What was the "hard question," Gunner? Are you asking if making a lot of
money is evidence of political seriousness? Again, there's Britney on your
side of the issue, and Mike Tyson, and Bernie Madoff, and Donald Trump.

I don't think it was an appropriate question and its premise was flawed. Do
we all have to post our net worth to express an opinion or state a fact?

Bill has been doing some good work in Harlem and for Haiti. Hilary is pretty
much upholding the same foreign policy that we had under G.W. Bush. Why do
you feel they pander to the worst aspects of our society?
The oil market? Let's see, first we have a cartel. A cartel that
controls a huge segment of the oil produced in the world. Then you have
a whole bunch of countries where the state operates and manages it's oil
resources. Last, you have private companies that are transnational but
are somewhat under the regulation or control by governments. That's a
free market? No way, Jose'. Not even close.
Hawke
If you're saying that net worth is what should determine if someone is
taken seriously you have to understand what that means to you. If it's
net worth you're using as your standard then someone like you, with a
negative net worth, wouldn't ever be listened to. That's never.
Sure you want to base what someone says by what they're worth?
