> Crude prices gain nearly $4 a barrel after Labor Department report shows a smaller-than-expected decline on U.S. jobs in July. Yeah, going up $3+ on something that hasn’t affected supply or demand makes perfect sense. So glad we had to back burner the speculation bill debate to make time for a slavery apologization from Congress. :picard: ---

Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz’s comments on Iran nearing a breakthrough in its nuclear program “re-energized concerns that Israel or the U.S. may attack Iran’s nuclear facilities,” said James Williams, an economist at WTRG Economics. “This news is like waving a red flag in from of the crude-oil bulls totally overwhelmed the bearish economic news of anther drop in non-farm payroll jobs and the highest unemployment rate in 4 years.” oh here we go again :cjerk: ---

^ That’s storm won’t have enough time to get strong enough to cause major damage, at least to the relatively sturdy oil production facilities. If you live in a trailer it’s a different story. 🙂 I’m just hoping we make it through the entire hurricane season without seeing a cat 3, 4 or 5 in the Gulf. ---
