I knew that the speculators were the ones driving up the price, but until I heard the numbers today on CNBC, had no idea that those crooked, unregulated hedge fund operators bought more oil than China.

I wish they'd ban those guys from being in any publicly traded investment at all.... they're in it to line their own pockets and have no regard for anyone that puts up their $$ to invest in the hedge funds.... and absolutely no regard for anyone investing lawfully at all (like all of us with any of our retirement accounts in mutual funds.... which I hope don't all get a FORTY PERCENT reduction, which will happen if Obama gets elected... he thinks that capital gains are only a tax on the rich, instead of the working class).
