Howard Dean is deeply saddened...

So, they will return to normal. Guess Soros and the gang have moved on to new areas.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The price of gas will be up after the first of the year. Probably about $5.00/gallon. So hang on to those stocks.

Carl Rove, you beautiful bastard...! ;)

A September surprise? Pure genius!

I think many speculators will be hanging themselves from lampposts by the time this bottoms out.

Then one of my fondest wishes will have come true ...

Maybe we should start building more lampposts. And throw ropes over them. And stand rickety ladders up under them. You know, anything to make it easy. Don't want anything to stand in the way of ridding the earth of these vermin.

Just when it hits bottom, it's time to invest again. When gold does the same thing in the next few years it's time to gobble it up too.

By the time the ads proclaim great profits are to be made it's usually over. Timing is everyting.

[Big Giant Head]

Good speculators can make money shorting the market also. You gonna hang those guys also?

[Marysecretary]

That won't hurt my feelings any.

Central New York is still around $2.89.

"This thread was posted two days ago. I suggest you do a title search prior to posting."

So what? I didn't see it and I bet a lot of others didn't either. I see this repeat stuff once in a while, it seems the search function isn't perfect.

And you know what? I have never posted an article and don't intend to because you can bet that if I were to accidentally repeat or even post a different article on the same subject there will be 3 or 4 "already posted, you idiot" posts in the first ten replies.

The "already posted " police are rather tiresome at best.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were polite, but most of them tend to be snide, sarcastic, or insulting to the poster.

Naw, it was $2.629 at Sam's club in Roseville next to Sacramento, CA yesterday.

Learn to short. Stocks always go down faster than they go up.

[Magic Fingers]

Amen!

I'm not going to hang anyone. I'm looking at this as a do-it-yourself project.

But do I hope the short traders dance on air too? You bet.

There is no form of life lower than someone who profits from the misery of others. Every dime these parasites make is a dime someone else loses. And they bring nothing to the table. They don't make anything. They don't process anything. They don't add anything. They just suck the life out of the body as it goes about its business.

They are worse than tapeworms.

Please explain, with details, research or experience. I am thinking seriously about dumping my energy related funds.

I guess this changes some plans that Iran and Russia had.

It was a bleak day for capitalism, and further proof that supply and demand were not the only, or even the primary, forces driving the price of fuel.

Yep... Greenspan testified that prices were decoupled from supply and demand a while back. This heist will make Enron look like peanuts. The folks who are celebrating now don't even realize they are still paying a hefty fear premium.

[NorCalRepub]

....well that is not how it works being in the industry.. They can make as much on the downward trend as on the up.. Speculation goes both ways.......

[television is just wrong]

good to hear. the angelides group are running anti-bush/schwarzenegger ads and the price of gas is one of their points of interest...
