Sorry that I had to end my day with out seeing your post.
There are laws against market manipulation, but know one sees the agenda of the MSN when we have GOP administrations.
When the money of the patsies begins to dry up, the paper market will back off. The Brokerages are hitting hard on the spam E-mails for new money to shore up current prices and to inflate to the paper target of $105.
Just wait until the whole blood and blood plasma supply becomes part of the Futures Market. If they can trade on the last election, then they will trade on anything.
that is correct, $105/bbl is the "target price" for the financial houses who are trading up oil prices.
the problem with this is that no one forced anyone to buy Cisco at $80 a share. It went to $80, I could care less. Its different with energy, there is a captive market of consumers behind it with fairly inelastic demand for the product. The hedge funds are forcing all of us to play.
