Iran oil official says crude prices artificially high
Tehran--May 13--OPEC heavyweight Iran said Saturday it believes crude
prices are artificially high and could lead the cartel to boost production
at its ministerial meeting next month. "The rise in prices in the past few
days is aimed at giving the market erroneous information ahead of the next
OPEC meeting," said Hojatollah Ghanimi-Fard, the Iranian oil ministry's
head of international affairs. (Story .10652)

With the new I Bond rate of 7.49%,

publicdebt.treas.gov

The way my Sister talked, That rate is drawing money away from time deposits. She is in Bank Management.

My dad bought some awhile back and said they were 6.98%
He is 80, so figured he had it wrong, I got a surprise.

I think they are about the best bet around now.

some I bonds and a little Gold stock , will not hurt anything.

time will tell.

How much of our vaunted productivity gains have come about because consumers have been made so much more unproductive?
