That's why I am openly taking an educated guess to wonder if the SEC and FTC are quietly investigating hedge funds to see if a few Democratic-leaning hedge fund managers may have tried to deliberate manipulate the crude oil futures market to help Democrats. If that is the case the Democratic National Committee will have a LOT of explaining to do....
I wondered that too. But, you know, if the price comes way down, then the Dems will just say the Republicans were manipulating the gas prices to make the price fall in time for elections.
a hedge fund collapsed this week after Natural Gas positions went south. Probably the same will happen if crude oil prices keep falling.
