RE: Interesting coments on oil prices...I believe all commodities are being shorted and money has temporarily returned to financials. It seems the powers that be are trying to keep the US dollar afloat despite the fact that the nation is thoroughly bankrupt and the dollar is worthless. I agree that it is a temporary reversal and that a lot of ground will be made up when financials are once again shorted and money rushes back into commodities. I think it's obvious that there is a direct link between the price of oil and gold and the value of the US dollar.
