The analogy is valid because people here on FR, just like you were swearing that no market manipulation was going on. Just like you are swearing that nothing is going on now. Rank utter BS.

[curiosity]

So what evidence do you have that there is manipulation going on?

Just because some markets were manipulated in the past (and, FYI, I never denied the eletricity markets were being manipulated), doesn't mean this market is being manipulated now.

You say that someone is manipulating the oil market. Can you name names or have evidence of who specifically is doing it?

I haven’t seen any evidence. And I don’t think speculators are Causing the high oil prices. It is Democrats who have caused the high oil prices. Democrats have said no to more oil drilling, no to more nuclear power plants, no to more refineries, no to drilling in ANWR, no to drilling in the OCS, no to oil shale, no to coal to oil liquefaction, no to coal mining, no to coal power plants, etc. etc. and so on ad infinitum.

Congress Has Made It Illegal to Develop Oil Shale!, Do you believe this???...
