These speculators ought to be jailed - for forcing the prices lower than they were a few weeks ago - Imagine what could happen to gasoline consumption and CO2 production and the value of those companies's stock because their product is now cheaper (there are ordinary people whose pensions/payouts depend on the value of oil/gas company stocks)
(And when prices go up - we can say this)
These speculators ought to be thrown in jail for making it impossible for ordinary people to live - they have to drive after all to make a living and life is so expensive already
(When prices stay the same, we can say this)
WHAT? No increase in my pensions/annuity? Why are the prices of gas/oil not doing up? Why is the stock price stuck at the point it was last week?
(When something else happens I have not anticipated - I can always figure out what to say by using simple rules - profit is evil and CO2 is bad - except when it is good)
The last 4 weeks, regular gas with annual change rate. Prices are basically the same as last year.
$3.67 4.44%
$3.61 2.21%
$3.57 -1.00%
$3.53 -3.15%
Speculators wise, take the top 5 trading desks out of the equation, basically the TBTF hosers.
The rest are basically fine, at least from a manipulation/control capability view.
I have no doubt seth can find something bad about this for the poor and unemployed.
