Im right there with ya… But what can be done in terms of the market and regulating speculation. What ideas have been proposed? (pardon my lack of following the situation) ---

The bottom came out of oil prices on Tuesday, with light sweet crude tumbling over $8 a barrel in electronic trading as what’s now called Tropical Depression Gustav didn’t cause the damage to oil installations that many had feared. **In electronic trade, light sweet crude for October delivery dropped $8.30 to $107.15 a barrel.** [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-oil-prices-thread/44739.md?page=60) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-oil-prices-thread/44739.md?page=62)
