the oil market in particular is in full blown contrivance, a racket of the sort we've seen many times before.
How the hedge funds were able to be played to take as much supply into thier hands was a stroke of genious, now all that oil fits into the category of Cost of Goods Not Sold....so; the price of holding those goods, is off laid as risk management programs dictate, to categories of players, still consigned behind one or the other, D or d lines. Anyone with money tied up in these hedge funds should try like heck to get it out now.
in some senses, it is truly a work of art. |
