But those with pension funds and certain other investments could be shocked to find that savings at the pump could come out of their retirement incomes.

All of those gains are ill gotten in the first place. No pension funds should have been rolling the dice in oil futures.

This article is poorly written. In my current 401k options, I have an energy fund. It only buys stock in energy companies - it's prohibited from buying futures in energy markets, it can't take a leveraged position, etc. It's a generic vanilla stock fund, targeted at energy companies, is what I'm saying.

It's done very well for several years, obviously. But an ill-thought out regulation or new law from Congress could bust this thing pretty bad.
