watching this market is like watching paint dry. i've seen FLC trade more shares than this in the first five minutes. What's the buzz on GLBL? I'm almost back to break-even.
What's the usual differential for Brent/WTI? Or what does it cost to bring a tanker load to the USA? Is the differential lower than transportation costs? How long would it take for a low differential to affect the API numbers? (sorry to ramble)

ABC News radio reported the same forecast about 1/2 hour ago. They said NOAA was calling for a repeat of last winter conditions.

Here is the report. I have not read it all but it does not sound exactly like what was portrayed on CNBC.

"La Ni¤a will alter the strength and pattern of the Pacific jet stream over North America to give us a warm and dry winter in the southern half of the nation, but more snow and rain to the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes. We expect considerable month-to-month variation in temperature, rainfall and storminess in the central, northern and eastern states, which means days of warmer than normal temperatures followed by bouts of bitter cold. As with every winter, it's too early to predict just how the jet stream will affect the weather in many north central states and for northern New England," said Baker.
