Oil prices' slight dip welcomed By TIM PARADIS ...
NEW YORK — Wall Street steadied itself Thursday after two sessions of steep declines, rebounding moderately as oil prices stepped back from their frenetic upward run.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 24.43 to 12,625.62. ...
Oil set another trading record overnight — moving above $135 a barrel for the first time — then pulled back below $131, offering some relief for investors. |

People have been talking about oil running out for so long, this is hardly even considered newsworthy. People will only take notice when it is way too late.
10% a month = 300% in a year
maybe we shouldn't be laughing about this? |

It's all over. Thank god. I think we're going to get an Avalanche now. When will gas start to go down? Soon?
It just went up to $3.94 yesterday.

Don't worry, Revi, I have it on good authority that gas will soon follow oil and plunge all the way back down to...$385.95  |
