>>oil prices are going up because supply is being controlled.<<

edamo, limiting supply has the effect of rising prices and reducing demand (for the limited supply!). funny, you say i don't have a clue when in fact you can't make the connection.

>>housing prices(new construction) couldn't drop as you state due to cost of material and labor.<<

buildings have sold below cost thousands of times. why? low demand relative to supply.

>>demand has nothing to do with price....very rarely is consumption lessened by price....unless the price is very high<<

edamo, econ 101 is tailor made for you. educate yourself in economics. this is one of the silliest things i've seen stated on si (and i've seen silly!).

>>add $50 to the cost of a computer...about $2 a month on a corporate lease...andfor the average consumer, as long as he has his credit card, doesn't matter...<<

then why doesn't dell do it? they don't like profits? sell 1 million boxes. $50 per box. $50 million in profits dell REFUSES to take. that is up there in the silly dept, too.

>>i've got better things to do then
discuss fantasy with one who lacks real world knowledge....<<

this makes me feel good. the day a guy who thinks up is down and down is up says i make sense is the day i re-evaluate myself! -ng-
