Very interesting reading and it makes sense....finally, an explanation as to why commodities prices are increasing so fast since the early 2000"s. Now the question remains...will congress actually pass the measures necessary to correct the loophole...my bet is NO. Too many of them are getting rich from the current situation.

Thanks for posting...will send this article to my Dad.

That makes sense now.This should be on the news.I dont know how you would get it on the news,but it needs to be there.Congress needs to do something and the way to get them to do it is to get the word out whats going on.Only some real stupid people would keep this up and ruin our country if they are elected to represent us.The crooks can make money other ways,this has to stop.I dont see why this is not on the news,but I can guess that its rich people from other countries as well as this one manipulating the stock market like was described,and dont care what it does to our country.The same ones that own all of our news media probably.Now Congress knows and has no excuse for doing nothing.

That's what I have been saying all along. Prices of everything is high 'cause of those darned speculators. Oil is not high due to the big oil companies but due to the speculators.

My wife said last evening she watched Glenn Beck, he had a guest who said our high priced oil is forcing us to pay for both sides of the Iraq war.

Very interesting reading indeed!

Basically he's saying it's just another bubble being created by the institutional investors who are buying-and-holding (not the traditional speculators who buy-and-sell and provide a very necessary role by creating market liquidity).

Whether it's tulips in the 17th century or tech stocks in 1999, those never end well.

I did read elsewhere a lot of this money is from the same investors who used to be funding the mortgage market and where driving the supply of dollars that created the lax lending standards, inflating the value of housing over the last number of years.

There was a time people...built things. Imagine what a few hundred billion dollars invested in nuclear power plants, in better freight railways, etc would do to help create good jobs, keep money in the U.S., and improve the fundamentals of the economy. Between legal / regulatory risk scaring some investors, and political ideology others (I'd bet many of the public pension funds and university endowments would be as loathe to invest in a nuke plant as they were in South Africa or are in companies that do business in Darfur...), there's a lot of investors in the world essentially hoarding money and not doing anything useful with it.

That is very interesting. I can go along with a lot of the things he says. It is very interesting seeing his numbers and graphs to illustrate!

Thanks for posting that.


Why did the other "I've got a bad feeling" thread get censored??
