Holidays, slow news cycles hell I don't know. :shrug: I will stand corrected! Now where's my newspaper? :D

Will this affect your business?

I think the breakeven for the Saudi's is like 33. I don't think many places can come close to that, even a lot of other OPEC countries.

No. I don't work in the industry.

This is amazing for our economy. Soon, airline travel will return to more reasonable levels, the cost of food will decrease and there will be billions of dollars that will be spent on goods instead of energy, boosting our economy.

Just imagine a time when fusion is in play.

That's with Kroger fuel points, he must have got $1 off/gal. I filled both our vehicles and a 5 gallon gas can for the same price today.

So the only real loser is the shale industry?

At these prices, why **** with shale? Sit on it.

Hell, increase reserves.

$2.83 or $1.57?

Kroger points sound awesome!

Nice to see someone believe me on this, for once. Thanks.

It's not a bad deal, but we have to spend $1,000/mo to get that much of a discount.

Pretty much.

Well, it's exposed the weakness of our position. Our domestic output has been extraordinary, but it isn't economically-viable when crude is low. That's what I've been mentioning over the last year or so in this thread.

Crude plummeting isn't really a good thing all around.

They realize the end is near and it's better to sell low than not sell at all.

We don't export crude. It isn't permitted, by law, with a dew execeptions. Some have been suggesting that change, however.

Ouch, we just buy items that have a certain amount off (1-5 cents), and that 5 cents off is good for 30 days.

It's a win-win because I'm sure Hy-Vee uses it to rid the shelves of sow moving items, but if you're getting it anyway, who cares.
