The price of gasoline's certainly lower than the record highs of this past summer. But are they low enough? We make no allusions to intimately knowing the intricacies of the global oil production system and the resultant pricing flim-flam, but recent pricing has given us pause. The price of a barrel...

A new low amongst lows, but who gives a crap Yesterday the March ‘09 contract hit a new low of $33.55, besting the pre-Christmas low of $35.18 for February delivery. Few words from the media on this - they are too busy making hay of some easily misinterpreted somewhat odd batshit crazy questio...

I know this is a hard one to believe, being that we are obviously in the middle of a deflationary period, but savvy institutional players are already starting to position themselves for inflationary times ahead. Inflation! Have I lost my mind? Actually, no... Let me explain what I mean. Former centr...

According to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report, “Average U.S. gasoline prices rang up at $1.84 a gallon on Tuesday, up from $1.67 a gallon a month ago.” That certainly is a far cry from the $4 plus a gallon that we had 7 months ago. Funny how those championing alternative energies have got...

The severe economic downturn here in the US has lead to all sorts of bad news. Layoffs, business closings, and bailouts dominate the headlines, and good news can be hard to find.

The campaign seal Obama should be using THE FOUNDATION: TRUTH “It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth-and listen to the song of that syren, till she transforms us into beasts.” -Patrick Henry THE DEMO-GOGUES Nothing l...

Yes Drill Sergeant! One Mercury RS2, color gray, size 20: A paltry $1.50.   A half tank of gas for trip to favorite fishing spot (in the midst of the greatest crude oil bull run in history and the day after triple-witching): A modest $40.   The look on Australian expatriate and Microsoft D...

Since 2006 that we are seeing the price of crude moving dramatically up, with many people pointing the movement as a consequence of the demand, but is this really truth? Of course not, the demand is one of the reasons but there are other reasons well structured that are making this commodity fly so ...

The statement today by Senator Dick "The Turban" Durbin that "we can't drill our way out of this..." is partially true. If we don't have the refinery capacity to produce the gasoline from the crude oil, that statement is true. I don't care how much crude oil you pull out of the ground, if you can't ...
