If you are a fundamentalist, traders should worry you very little, for over the long run, they have virtually no effect upon prices.

John Maynard Keynes famously said: "In the long run, we're all dead."

In the case of Enron's speculation in the energy market, my electricity rates went up 23% recently in Central Oregon, Portland's rates are up 40%, much of Washington State has had 50% price increases, San Diego's rates have doubled.

How can you, with a straight face, honestly call this "virtually no effect upon prices"? You are either naive or disingenuous.
