What if we just create an NYSpeed oil hedge fund to offset gas price bitching? Everyone throw in $120 and we’ll buy one barrel of oil per person. If the price goes down, we save at the pump anyway. If the price goes up, you’re covered. ---

Dollar hits 5 month high. Oil down to 117. Looks like today should be a pretty good day for the market. [http://money.cnn.com/2008/08/08/markets/oil/index.htm?postversion=2008080807](http://money.cnn.com/2008/08/08/markets/oil/index.htm?postversion=2008080807) ---

So, do the computers start selling off at $117 still? Are we going to see a bigger drop? ---
