President announces he is lifting the ban and bam the price goes down.

It was the executive order signed by Bush, sharp decline in demand and larger than expected inventories. All those factors must have spooked traders.

But wait merrie, I thought that none of these things would affect the price of oil...lol I actually heard Al Gore yesterday trying in vain to make that point.

This is great I'm really going to enjoy this, in 10 years maybe when the dollar is worth a nickel instead of the dime it's worth today.

What LoPhat?

When I was a kid the dollar had a value aproxamently 10 times what it is today. The dollar is the "new" dime. In another 10 years, at the present rate of devaluation it will be worth a nickel. People with your mentality has gotten us into this mess. Two wrongs don't make a right, so you and your kind need to get the hell out of the way. There is an ambulance on the way and it doesn't run on gasoline.

You are too funny. But I know you are being serious. I love the platitudes though.

I love the way you slide things around as if they didn't matter, the only difference is I find no humor in it.
