> Jay you must realize that the average person crying about the oil prices has no clue about why or what drives the prices up. They just think there is some really mean guy somewhere that keeps raising the price or something. Over the next six months the dollar will gain a ton of strength as we have IMO hit bottom like you said. Last weeks reports were all blood red for the most part but only to the tune of about 1/3 the injury that was reported last quarter.

You mean to say Dick Cheney doesn’t set the price of oil so his oil buddies can make extra profits?
