I heard on FNC, the other evening, that one U.S. Congressman wants to introduce legislation that anyone transacting trades in oil, has to take physical possession of the oil before being able to trade the oil to someone else.

That would put a stop to those looking to make a quick buck off of our backs.

How can the US establish rules over a UK trade site? What if the site or the county just says “no.”

Seems that the best the US could do would be to deny US citizens permission to partipate in foreign future trading.

Similar to the law when US Citizens were not allowed to own any gold.

Off hand, this is reminding me of the nonsense we had 8 years ago over 'day-trading'.   A bunch if new idiot regulations that changed very little besides the increase in paper shuffling.

SAJ's and Todd's input will be most welcome.
