Gasoline at $4 Coming to a Pump Near You, Unfazed by Rising Tab

Pretty alarmist, IMO, but possible.

Spoiler!

Yeah, this is definitely not correct.

I don't envy your position. But I can empathize with it. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that ag is pretty volatile too, and times like this are no fun. At least I can hedge and try to do some things with the physical product. But I don't have the capacity to cut big costs.

Best of luck. I mean that sincerely. It's mean out there.

Thanks, Man, good luck to you too!

This was an article (written by the WSJ in Jan) that will add to the "interesting" debate on the health of the energy markets vs low fuel prices.

Are you under the impression that crude is traded, refined, distributed and retailed in the space of a day?

Did you notice that the sun set a few seconds earlier than the day before, too?

You either were or weren't attempting to link a daily increase with gasoline with a daily decrease in crude prices. Which is it?

1) Are you worried about the sun?

2) I was or was not attempting that? Im stillmnot sure why would you think that?

Meh. If you were just trolling, that's fine. If you were trying to link a daily drop in crude with a local increase in gasoline prices, I'd be happy to explain why that would be wrong.

Either way works for me.
