Oil price has risen over 65% in 9 months. Neither the supply and demand parameters nor the lower price of the dollar will justify such a crazy and unrealistic increase not even close. The arithmetic is so simple here and the only conclusion is that the over inflated oil price is due only speculators. The price of a barrel of oil should not be more than $ 80 based on supply and demand and/or the lower dollar value.
This crazy oil price is not capitalism nor free market anymore in fact it against everything we stand for in a free capitalist economy. What the oil speculators are doing is wild and crazy stuff that has nothing to do with the fundamentals of our free market economy.
