Interesting article. I’m skeptical that it would lower oil that much, but who knows.

But ... but ... but ... we were all told that speculation was not a factor in the oil price spike, that it was all supply and demand. Go figure. And the worst part is, after the likes of Lehman, AIG, MS and GS hosed us by jacking up commodities prices, the government will cushion their fall with our tax dollars. Are we the chumps or what????

"If speculators were forced to liquidate their positions, oil would easily be $65 to $75 per barrel by the time the liquidation was complete..."

Bastards! Bailing out housing, commodity, and energy speculators with our tax dollars!

What I heard was Lehman was sort of a clearing house for hedge funds. It did the trades for them

Oil is currently at 100.22 and is probably going under 100.00 by tomorrow. Guess what. No earthquakes, no lightning, no fire from the sky...

There is, obviously, a world wide economic slowdown looming. Demand for oil will decrease. Prices will fall. We have seen deflation in the housing market. Logic and common sense would dictate that deflation will spread to other commodities through decreased demand and a perception that prices are going down in the future.

John Mauldin said that commodities are the last leg of the four legged stool: credit, equity, property and now commodities.

I wondered what would happen to the investment banks that had tons of money pumped into the commodities market. Now we know.

Repeal Sarbanes Oxley and let the market be normal again!
