Why have greedy oil ';speculators'; not continued to inflate oil prices at the expense of poor US drivers?

Has the left been forced to move on to new talking points?





Is it time to start blaming the Bush tax cuts again?

I'm open to the possibility of speculators attempting to manipulate asset prices. I'm also open to the possibility that the government could try to do so for its own purposes. However, in the long run prices are set by good ol' supply and demand. The price of oil is dropping because people believe that demand will decline with the economic downturn.





The left has plenty of talking points as does the right. People engaging political dialogue will use many dubious arguments to advance their agendas. I wish that I knew whether they were being dishonest or just ignorant.Why have greedy oil ';speculators'; not continued to inflate oil prices at the expense of poor US drivers?
duh, because we caught on to them~!


i have letter from Chuck Hagel and my Congressman stating they were putting extreme pressure on the speculaters and the naked short selling, and manipulating the stock prices~!





wow~!


so OPEC is sweating cause the price is getting too low~!





so i suppose the New Comfortable Price average will be $3.00 a gallon~!
Because as the price of oil rises and rises, demand falls and then suddenly people start to realize that oil is way overpriced and they start selling as quickly as they bought it and the price drops. Kinda like what happened with... housing!
