Oil rises more than $3 on banks rescue Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Reuters -- LONDON (Reuters) - Oil rose more than $3 on Tuesday, extending the previous session's 4 percent gain, as investors' confidence over government moves to shore up banks offset expectations of a global recession. Global markets powered ahead, with European and Asian markets following Wall Street's lead after governments around the world bet hundreds of billions of dollars to shore up ailing banks. U.S. crude gained $3.11 to $84.30 a barrel by 6 a.m. EDT, just off a session high of $84.53, as concerns over the impact of the financial crisis on oil demand eased. London Brent crude rose $2.60 to $80.06.

	If it were the oil companies that made it go up, then explain why they are letting it go down. You are buying at todays price so why let it go down no matter what the price of crude is. That is a future price market. The oil companies need to make a profit and gummint needs to mind their own business. Gummint is the reason we have shortages and have to buy foreign oil; ask them to remove their unearned profit from the price of a gallon of gas. Ride a bike or walk to work or wherever if you don't like the prices.

	The Cost of Crude is bouncing as much as the markets, Nymex Crude Future today is 75.42 which is -3.21 since this morning. This is why we need to insure that the Drill Now, Drill often, will happen in the next congress. We should only elect Senators and House members that promise to vote for Drilling. Serious rumors are that Pelosi and Reed will re-invoke the drilling band right after the elections. This will happen wether Obama is elected or not. Need to keep the pressure on congress. If you want lower energy prices, we have to have use all sources of energy, especially the kinds that Democrats do want us to use, like nuclear power. Remember, Nancy Pelosi, thinks she is in office to 'save the planet,'

	For now, speculation in oil futures has calmed down... demand has dropped off (but nowhere near what it needs to drop by) and OPEC is beginning to squawk... We need to kick our oil addiction and serious seek alternatives, especially in transportation - we have driven solo, willy-nilly for far too long

	My favorite commodity analyst says pops up in crude prices are selling opportunities. The commodity trend in general is down, due to deflation and a sinking world economy. I've read that the big financial shoes are yet to drop. Home construction loans by small banks. Financial loan insurance (if I recall correctly, something like $13 trillion). That will likely mean commodity prices heading for the basement, unless the US dollar becomes like the Reichsmark, in which case it will take a wheelbarrow of dollars to buy a loaf of bread. Life is interesting.

	We need to open more refineries to lower the overall demand on crude. Just remember - only buy it when you absolutely need it. No running to the station when the prices drop - it just increases the demand and prices go back up. Lets all be rational about all this.

	The trend of reducing the United States of American to 3rd world status by many in our own government and, seemingly, a few of its citizens, continues unabated. There’s a more ‘descriptive’ way of phrasing the last sentence but it would probably not be acceptable on this forum. Please contact your representatives and senators and hold them accountable to their sworn oath to "protect, preserve, and defend” our constitution! That is not only our right but, our responsibility. If you’re unsure of who’s yours are you can find out quickly, as well as how to contact them, by going to the following web sites: Senators www.senate.gov Congressperson www.house.gov

	i still think a commodity such as oil that so many countries and industries are so dependant upon, should not be regulated by people that are only in it to turn a quick buck. oil and utilities SHOULD be regulated to keep just this from happening. look at what happens when industries are NOT regulated.... cable tv.... prices skyrocket. electricity.... prices skyrocket. none of these industries was suffering. but when its deregulated to 'improve competition and lower prices', its a scam to wrest control back and put the prices to whatever they want. oil needs to be regulated. profits are more than enough in the billions... they don't need 'a little more'.
