As long as our economy is slumping, I believe that we'll continue to conserve and keep prices dropping, even if OPEC cuts production later this month. We've been through this before and weathered through it, but we need to start increasing our output of both oil and alternative fuels. Otherwise, the roller coaster ride is going to be long and treacherous.

More bailouts, less demand, until the consumer is bailed out...

Even though I didn't vote for Pres. Elect Obama, I do have pitty on him.
He's really stuck. As soon as the economy starts to speed up, oil will skyrocket again. This will again tank the economy. So the problem is how to stimulate the economy without having oil (and thus diesel and Gas) go through the roof, and cause everyone to quit spending again, since they are spending all their money on gas.
Here's the only answer which makes sense. The Gov't spending to boost the economy needs to be buying wind/solar equipment. Business will respond and need to build these. This will create a lot of jobs which currently don't exist. As the economy grows, the Gov't will need to mandate that all Gov't vehicals be Electric. This (along with the bail out to the big 3) will bring us Electric cars. Now when our economy booms, we will have the extra electricity, and the electric cars, filling stations, ect..... This will decrease our demand for oil, while stimulating the economy.

Well the left finally got what they wanted. They have been preaching for the last 6 years that we were in a resession to get back into power. Well it is here now. How are they going to get it going again.
Raise taxes on gas, and personal income, and business tax. Then we will be in a full blown depressioin!

The consumer will continue to lack confidence as long as the media continues to be unable to report any kind of positive information. If they don't have a disaster, they don't have anything to report.

So what they are saying is this: "Investors see that the U.S. is going into a period of lower employment (where formerly employed people will not be buying gasoline). Therefore, these investors are not willing to pay inflated prices for gasoline futures. Therefore, the price of gas goes down."

Just about everything was down yesterday. Dow dropped over 650, S&P over 50, what the hey!!!
The biggest gains were made by those companies that will profit from the Stimulus Package for Highways, Roads & Bridges or The Infrastructure Sector.
Granite Construction
Caterpillar
Vulcan Materials
Martin Marietta
AECOM Tech.
Others that have gone up on this news are Energy Oriented Companies and should be sold:
Foster Wheeler
Shaw Group
Chicago bridge & Iron
Now if we could get a Stimulus Package for the Pickens Plan..........
