Yeah, the oil game is an interesting one to watch. Much like the stock market you got people betting against it going down and against it going up further driving up prices. That in turn drives up the entry fee for even new investors who want to take part in the action.

You got people who need to buy gas, so demand will always be there.

Then you got those who will do anything to make a buck and will undersell the other guy. Thats good for a while til the big guys either under cut you using what they have in savings to stay afloat or just buy you out.

We are likely in the last situation and its just a matter of time before they are bought out and prices return.
