<I wonder how much speculators unwinding oil positions accelerates the moves to the downside as they did to the upside?>

Panic is much more effective than greed in getting a stampede going.

Having a herd of elephants trying to squeeze through a doorway is what happens when price falls cause financial panic.

Prices rise slowly, then fall fast.

At $80 a barrel, oil was way over the price of competitive products, such as small cars instead of SUVs, insulation instead of heating, or cooling, coal, ethanol and so on. Even photovoltaics must have had a greatly expanded market opportunity.

Taikun is right. The Zebra must be kept alive so the tick can suck the blood. Killing the Zebra means death to the tick colony.
Lower oil prices will allow for a softer landing and the ticks can keep feed. Man, I'm almost Chinese this morning.
