No, not just like any other market. But whatever.

Please detail how it is different.

How the oil market is different from other markets?? Are you serious?

As it pertains to price increases and decreases. Sure, go ahead.

I'll get back after my meeting but until then...Google is your friend.

LMAO

Okay pete

Well now if that's going to be how you play it, go **** yourself and you can believe what you want.

Yes, as expected.

The only thing expected is how far up your ass you have your head. But you go on believing what you will.

Well, since you apparently wont provide examples to support your assertion, perhaps we could just go through a few and see if your position holds gas?

Would you be okay with that?

You wanted to be a dickhead now take a hike. If you want to know, go Google. It's not hard. I'll give you a hint....BP and Shell among others have been probed for price fixing and spoof trading over the last few years in both the US and Europe.

And what did the probing reveal?

Now, let's take the first one:

strike

Are you of the opinion that a strike at a large refinery should not affect the price of the product produced at the refinery, namely gasoline?

If not, why not.

:facepalm: How convenient the oil companies let the strike go on while oil prices were seeing their lowest prices in decades (exaggeration, don't get all bent) They knew it would restrict output thus raising the price of gas.

Come on, man.

"Let the strike go on"? Are you suggesting they should have gone all Homestead on the strikers?

I'm saying they could have worked out the deal they knew they were going to have to inevitably work out prior to any strike. Instead they chose to let it go on for a while as it gave them a bump in their gas prices without a similar bump in the cost of oil.

Why is it so ****ing hard for you to understand it's all about them making their money? And ironically this all happened at a time when they were all bitching about low oil prices. They saw a short term opportunity and exploited it.
