>> Anyone know whether our stockpile is designed to reach a fixed level or have we been expanding the capacity this year I've read articles that say the oil in the reserve seeps away slowly - into cracks and fissures in the earth, and so the level is always dropping and has to be topped off continuously. I know it is each citizen's patriotic and civic duty to resist the idea that the current resident is just a pawn in the hands of evil self-serving rasputins, but, since we're talking about stocks here, and what drives their prices, consideration of this view is un-avoidable. Anyway, scientifically speaking, it is worth knowing what % of the oil pumped into the reserve can actually be retrieved. And at what additional cost.

OIL prices is the key to that and i see no reason right now that they will break Do you think there is such a thing like an oil short squeeze; I'm also wondering if it is possible to pump up the price of oil a la Enron. Couple weeks ago two refineries in CA shut down for maintenance (at the same time)right before the busy driving season and Shell(?) is planning to shut down a (small) refinery in Bakersfield which would put additional stress on the supply side. terror premium - mhh? Is oil at $45 "safer" compared to oil at $35?
