Why Gas Prices Dropped money.cnn.com ^ | October 16 2006 | Nelson D. Schwartz
Posted on 10/16/2006 10:31:49 AM CDT by kellynla
(Fortune Magazine) -- If the recent plunge in gas prices is the result of a conspiracy by President George W. Bush to help the Republicans retain control of Congress, as 42 percent of Americans believe, according to one Gallup poll, a lot of Wall Streeters wish they'd been in on the plot.
So what really drove prices down - if not an Oliver Stone-worthy scenario involving the Commander-in-Chief, the House of Saud and Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson cajoling his cronies at Goldman Sachs to sink the crude market?
By late summer, hedge funds and other investors had poured billions into long positions in oil, gasoline, natural gas and the rest of what traders call the "energy complex," all betting on a replay of the severe 2005 hurricane season that sent prices soaring in the wake of Katrina and Rita. But one day after oil reached a monthly high of $76.98 a barrel on Aug. 7, government meteorologists downgraded their hurricane forecast and cautioned that a repeat of 2005 was "unlikely."
That announcement, combined with the end of the summer driving season and a recalibration of the Goldman Sachs (Charts) commodity index that reduced the weighting of gasoline, prompted speculators to head for the exits even faster than they'd piled in.
The switch in Goldman's basket of commodities had been previously announced by the firm, but that didn't stop the conspiracy theorists.

RINO's aren't the problem, it's these pundits who supposedly are conservative that are the problemJoe Scarborough, Glen Beck, Michael Savage. These 3 guys have been the biggest dissapointment to me in the last year or so. I predict their numbers will shrink and they will soon be gone.

Jumpin Jim Jefferds! We had to 'share' the Senate. Such a crock. That was Lott. Worse than Frist, he was.

Hagel, that sell out, along with Collins, Snow, McCain and Goober should be expelled from the party. You ain't gonna advance or build up conservatism by marginalizing yourself in some third party that no one but you and a handful of FReepers will support. People who believe that will advance conservatism aren't the sharpest pencils in the box.

Rush just made the point I made yesterday. If you sit out this vote, then the Republican controllers will put up RINOs like McInsane.

Rush is giving a lesson in consequences of 'staying at home' to 'teach the GOP a lesson': The possible election of John McCain.
Thank you Rush, for speaking the truth.

The Dow's over 12,000? Woohoo!!! How many Democrats really care about the Dow? How many Democrats have a 501K that amounts to anything? How many have any thing in the stock market?

Cal Thomas, George Will, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Byron York and a slew of others can all KMA.
Pat Buchanan needs to eat worms and die.
And Tony Blankley who is now all upset, was first to editoralize about Foley. Ditto Ingraham. Basically,none of these people will lose their jobs regardless of WHO wins. Unless of course, that old Fairness Doctrine kicks back in.

Boy is that the truth.
Actually I was thinking before that Scarborough has such a small audience on MSNBC, why does Rush give him widerexposure on his show?
Who is this InstaPundit blogger? Anybody know?
