I'll never forget a college professor (quantum mechanics, no less) I was talking to in 1990 was kind of bragging about his perceived knowledge on all things economical and he predicted $3 gas prices within a year. Well, he was only 15 years off and on top of that we've been bombing the S**T out of the Middle East since then. I just suspect that this is more the-sky-is-falling kind of attention getting. |

In case you were wondering what the people who are making all that money off the price of oil are doing with it.

The mystery baron who's dropping $475 million on an Airbus A380, the biggest commercial aircraft in existence, has been revealed. It's none other than everyone's favorite member of the Saudi royal family, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud. Oh Alwaleed, you were always the crazy one in the family! He already owns a 747, so I guess the A380 is what he'll take when he wants to fly somewhere and really make an impression. Oh, and in case you were curious, the average income in Saudi Arabia is $17,000, making this purchase equal to the yearly salaries of 27,941 Saudis. [FlightGlobal (Thanks Jason!)]

"an oil refinery worker had a case of pink eye and took a sick day" = OMG SHORTAGE!!!!!!! BUY BUY BUY "a board member at Valero had a dream that his oil refinery needed more maintenence" = OMG BUY BUY BUY "its Monday" = OMG $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ oil Bull rides again! while i know that the above items are comical its sad that any news no matter how small sends the roaches who buy this stuff scurrying to buy the price higher.

#1 college costs continually rise therefore putting the kibosh to many for their college hopes and dreams. interest rates are horrible, costs continue to grow exponentially. we simply cant afford to waste money buy driving unnecessarily #2 as the gap between the haves and have not’s grow during the assault on the middle class....the amount of debt carried skyrockets. thus the big deal with the possible credit crunch. once the bottom drops out and we have a credit crunch....the US consumers will no longer have the easy flowing lines of credit to waste. Which will then bring us to a long pit stop in "recession-ville USA" with prices being so high.. how can demand be growing? baby boomers are driving less and will continue to do so as they exit the workplace. wages aren’t expanding anywhere near the REAL rate of inflation. the public is pissed about oil and the price of gas. while some driving is necessary due to we all cant work from home...people should be driving less. based on all that i simply cannot fathom how ignorance is fueling this oil bubble. in my economics class they say demand for oil is inflexible...i say that’s correct but only to a point. its not a straight vertical line...it may be steep but its not running north and south. in the end im not saying it CANT be growing.....im just saying it makes no logical sense as to why anyone wants to shoot there foot off

even the rest of the world i would think would be tired of overly inflated prices. but with the dollar plunging faster the Damon Huard stock....i can see how its not as bad to them. edit: so yes i know im answering my own questions.......its just mind-bottling... Chazz: Mind-bottling, isn't it? Jimmy: Did you just say mind-bottling? Chazz: Yeah, mind-bottling. You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?
