Let's talk about gas.

Forgive me if I derailed your topic natronforever. In my opinion, one reason why gas prices jump the way they do is because of these Futures speculators who say things like... "recent threats against Nigeria will likely cause prices to increase." I mean, who ARE these people and why does the market react negatively every time this babble surfaces? It's a joke.

Speculators are a big factor in the current market as I understand. That's true for other commodities too of course.

But I'm sure John McCain will get it all straightened away in his first six months in office.
