So many opportunities to hedge consumption loss and make profit...
1. Buy Oil stocks (done-- just the last two months covered my gas @$4/gallon for this and next year)
2. Stock Options: Straddle leaning long (working on it)
3. If it goes to $75 (absurd) short oil futures (waiting)
If everyone does as you are doing the barrel of oil will be $ 500 dollars within weeks.
Woe betide the poor schmuck, however, who just earns enough to pay his own bills. Now he's gotta figure out how to afford to get to work - all because of some damned speculators.
