If you think the price of crude, gasoline, or heating oil is too high, you are always welcome to short the respective futures contract on the NYMEX. If you are right, you will make a lot of money. If not, the person on the other side of your trade will make the money.

Its not a matter of its too high or not, its a matter of the market is willfully and intentionally manipulated, just like the stock market oh say circa 1999/2000.

There is not one remote supply or demand justification in terms of end consumer for the price of oil today... just a bunch of middle men leeching and manipulating the system.

Futures trading in the energy market is just manipulation and gougin, pure and simple.
