Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Note to mods: You might want to consider using this one soon, as its relevance will be lost when the price soars back up to $140 in the next few weeks/months...

And for every China or Iraq graph you post, I can post a US, Mexico, North Sea, Indonesia, Venezuela or any of the other 60 or so countries that are long past their peak of oil extraction. You're grasping at straws in a feeble attempt to continue your cushy, fossil fueled, lazy-ass lifestyle. You're gonna hurt so bad when you find out the free ride is over and you're literally going to have to work for your food.

Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!! SELL SELL SELL

American banks have been incurring tremendous losses for a very long time. Remember Enron? Its called cooked books, the magic of creative accounting and mark to miracle. It called crooked and incompetent regulators; greed and its called everyone has had their hand in this big fat juicy and un-scrutinized pie. Do you think the world’s financial system lost $15 trillion in just 14 months. This has been building for two decades. It is what happens when you hire the fox to watch the chicken coup!

"So clearly we have to hit up on the Europeans to ship over some gas, except how are we gonna PAY for this gas? You really think any European would take a Note from Ben & Henry for a promise to pay back tomorrow for the gas they loan us today? So maybe George can call up his buddy Vladimir and ask him nicely to send the Europeans more gas from the Crimea so they will loan us some gas? Sorry about that Georgia thing, that was just a misunderstanding. LOL.
Whereas after Katrina/Rita our good buddies the Europeans were right there with a floating gas tank for us, they aren't so well off these days and have their own economic toilet to deal with.
Maybe the Chinese will loan us some Gas so we can keep driving to Walmart to keep buying their stuff. I don't know. You tell me how its going to work, I'll stop preaching Doom."
