After the pres said we need to drill, did the supply and demand make the price of a barrel drop so much in 24hrs, or speculation?

Resuming the drop after digesting the fact that Iran’s missle launch was a bluff.

Dollar is down today, so it may not fall to far.

When the speculators take the other side, and make oil race downward; I wonder how many people will be complaining about their affect on markets.

I won’t be. Push the snowball down the hill.

Could it be tied to the talk in Congress re: speculators?

The price for unleaded reglular in this area was $4.24 last night — the highest I’ve ever seen — up from $4.19 the day before.

Monday President Bush lifted the executive order blocking offshore drilling. The very next day oil has the largest one day fall in price in 17 years.

Whoever says that drilling will have no impact on the price of oil is a fool. Just the talk of drilling will influence the market.

Hmmm, Bush lifts the ban on offshore drilling and the price of oil is plummeting. Imagine that. If we even think about creating our own supply, OPEC cuts prices and increases output. Of course, Bush will not get credit for this but, that’s the way the market works people. If Congress would drop its partisan “we can’t drill our way out of this” line, we will see prices drop even further. OPEC may be greedy, but they’re not stupid. If the world says “fine, we’ll use something else to power our cars, factories, homes and so on...” OPEC’s cash cow would shrivel up and die. They can’t afford to have that happen. But, this time, they may well have sexually penetrated the canine.

The Dems are right in a way, drilling can’t be the ONLY solution. We need to develop alternatives so we can finally say to these OPEC countries, go pound sand. And, I believe, that we are very near that day. OPEC has overplayed its hand here and they are just beginning to realize that. And if the Dems can look past their lust for power just this once, we can really bring oil prices down, for now, and give the little guy a break.

Impossible. The price of oil is dictated by strict rules of supply and demand. We know demand is skyrocketing in India and China, so the only way this could happen is if the Earth suddenly urped up 8 quadrillion bbl overnight. And since we hit Peak oil somewhere around January 20, 2001 at about noon, there can't possibly be any more oil. It's all a scam by Big Oil, folks. We'll be having Soylent Green by next Leninmas (formerly Earth Day).
