I found this little tidbit - Crude Oil Rises as Goldman Forecasts Rally to $85, Dollar Drops From the article: Oil gained after the New York-based bank raised its forecast to $85 a barrel from $65 for the end of the year and withdrew its prediction prices will dip prior to a rally. Yesterday, crude fell after a U.S. government report showed fuel demand fell the most since January last week, as rising prices and the recession hurt consumers. Now that's special, just special. Remember when crude was $140.00 a barrel, and gas was $4.00 at the pump? Who was pumping the price of crude then???? Now we have more oil than we can shake a stick at, and these swine bastards are doing it again. Yes, they are the same ones that did it before. Wonder how many ships they have sitting in the ocean waiting to drive the price up so they can make more money. Swine bastards!
