Why is it so high? Are
    we running out? Are supplies disrupted, or is the high price a reflection
    of oil company greed or OPEC greed. Are Chavez and the Saudis conspiring
    against us?</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rense.com/general82/whyi.htm"><FONT size="+1">In my opinion, the two biggest factors in oil's high
    price are the weakness in the US dollar's exchange value and the liquidity
    that the Federal Reserve is pumping out.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rense.com/general82/whyi.htm"><FONT size="+1">The dollar is weak because of large trade and budget
    deficits, the closing of which is beyond American political will. As abuse
    wears out the US dollar's reserve currency role, sellers demand more dollars
    as a hedge against its declining exchange value and ultimate loss of reserve
    currency status.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rense.com/general82/whyi.htm">There are other factors affecting the price of oil.
