during the month of may, oil prices declined from 103 to 89 bucks, even though there
was a 2 mbd shortfall due to the libyan war. enter our fearless leader, dump 2 mbd
on the market and it immediately reverses course back to 97. why are the oil markets
not responding to supply or demand. why are they responding inversely?

I guess strong investissors are able to manipulate the market with massive buying/selling movements in order to change market direction in the "good" way. Moreover, since most of stock exchange actors are computers, knowing the algorithms used is pretty much like insider trading.
Anyway, this game won't last more than several months. Real economy is in freefall.
Stock exchange is now no more than fake economy in order to pretend everything is all right.

Oil is running out. People know it. Band-aids don't work now.

Gotta agree with Pete on this one!
