"Hoping for another Katrina?"Nice to know people hope for others misfortune to enjoy reaping the benefits from tragic events. Sorry to disappoint guys. Some people make me sick.
Golly, I sure believe Fortune magazine. I mean, there's no possible way that when Goldman Sachs decided to change its index, which would strongly affect commodities, no one leaked it to a good buddy so he wouldn't lose money. No way! That NEVER happens. Because everyone in the financial industry is honest and good and pure. And this had nothing with the Treasury Secretary being from Goldman Sachs and Bush needing gas prices to come down before elections! No, sir!By the way, remember those mysterious airline stock-puts done for the 9-11 date that earned someone tons of money predicting that those specific airlines involved in the plane crashes would go down in price? Yeah, well, for some reason the administration won't identify who did those. Not even 5 years later. Not like it would be a clue to who had advance notice of the crashes, so why hide it. No, everyone in this administration is good and honest, I trust them completely.
If it is so much cheaper per barrel, then why isnt the price per litre going down.Still paying $1.15 per litre here. Admittitly, it has come down from 1.35, but with that price per barrel, it should be more like 80/90c per litre
Oh, and here's some detail to explain the gas manipulation technique:" How did this happen in an era of worldwide increasing demand and decreasing supply? Easy - Goldman-Sachs simply cut exposure of its primary commodity index, the GSCI, to gasoline by two-thirds. Since a great many investors adjust their investments to match the GSCI index (including funds that are required by their charters to track that index exactly), the result was a massive sell off of gasoline futures contracts in just the past few weeks. It is, of course, no coincidence that the greatest declines in pump prices have taken place in so-called "swing states" that are particularly critical to Republicans in the upcoming congressional election."See <a class="user" href="http://www.rense.com/general73/yesonno.htm">http://www.rense.com/general73/yesonno.htm</a> for background.
There is a much higher cost of living in San Francisco than Dayton, Ohio. $1 does not go as far in San Francisco as it does in Dayton, Ohio. Taxes playing a major role in that.

The president doesn't have to, his freinds the Saudi's and Haliburton take care of details like that. They don't want their golden goose cooked.
