So bad news results in good news? I'm confused? Less jobs than expected helps drive down oil prices?
GREAT!
I wonder if we will see prices drop at the pump??
I'd like to see 20 dollars a barrel!
Just because two things happen at the same time doesn't mean one caused the other.
Rooters is always ready to jump at any perception of an administration conspiracy theory. Why do they consider the drop in oil prices to simply be a market adjustment?
That's what I'm sayin..
Oil prices are dropping, not because of bad economic news, but because more oil is flooding in..
Misleading piece, as usual.. This is unbelievable.
The election is over.
Yes. But it will take months.
The Real issue to be investigated is how the price was artificially raised to $60.00 during the month immediately prior to the Election.
Who did what and when did they do it to drive the price to the artificially high level? Why is the price coming down to the real supportable levels of $42 or even the Mid $30's in the next few weeks?
I like low priced Oil just like everybody else, but I would like to have a good explanation for why they went up to $60 when they did, just in time to try to defeat George W. Bush, and why they were not sustained at that level? Why, exactly, are they coming down now?
RamS
So when are my gas prices going to drop?
Oh yeah...that's right...the libs won't let us open up new refineries so we can turn crude into gasoline...
President Bush, we need that energy policy passed PRONTO.
Well it just doesn't make sense to me. I don't see how less jobs would have any effect on the price of oil, much less the price of eggs in China. The stock market is not doing what people thought it would with the job numbers. Right now it is up, and seems pretty stable. So, people just make up reasons?
Well we were blaming it on Soros and his tactics yesterday.
The idiots at Reuters see LOWER oil prices as a negative?!? After being breatlessly aghast at the rising prices for the last 4 months. What morons.
I don't quite understand your hatred for SUVs. I think most people who drive them gas them up. I understand your explanation of the oil prices though.
Good question. I remember months ago some were speculating that Soros was behind the rise in oil. Funny how it is dropping rather quick this soon after it no longer needs to be high.
"When I see a hummer (or any other idiotic large suv) on the road I cringe and have no respect for that person."
People don't need 250 watt stero systems, yachts, or Rolex watches either, but this is America! Let people enjoy the fruits of their labors. Ride your bicycle if you want. That's fine too.
Help!!! Price of oil goes up? Bad. Price of oil goes down? Bad.
Price of seeing the left with egg on their faces? Priceless.
ROFL!
Good one!
