"The market-making strength of Goldman Sachs in the oil futures market is something to be never fully discounted," said Olivier Jakob at Petromatrix, Zug, Switzerland.

I think I'm getting it.

Oliver Jakob gets it too.

So do all those who got caught holding the wrong side of the trade when Goldman shorted everything subprime last year. And so do all of those who got blindsided when Goldman stabbed commodity bulls in the back by rebalancing the gasoline weighting in their commodity index.

I'm probably early on shorting USO and may hedge a bit, or get stopped out quickly here, but agree that GS is about to do what it does best, act upon and profit greatly from inside information at the detriment of everyone else.

Something very big and very fishy is up in the market. You can almost feel it. Natural Gas is also way too high compared to supply builds. I think Oil sees $70-$80 and Natural Gas $6-$7-it's just a matter of when?

Look at FNM today. Sure looks like a blatant prop up job yesterday.

GOLDMAN SEEKS BUYERS OF ITS CRUDE OIL CONTRACTS

True to form, in yet another chapter in their corruption, Goldman Sachs has announced the likelihood of a future $200 crude oil price. Conclude quickly that they are eager to find buyers of their long crude oil positions, as its price heads down. GSax has standing profits in need of liquidation, but they need more dumb demand. In 2005 they shorted the mortgage bonds profitably, even as they sold mortgage securities laced with fraud. In November 2007, they heralded a flat year for gold, just before its price vaulted from 800 to over 1000. Now these criminal geniuses are touting a strong year for crude oil. Doesn't anyone ever question the clear biased motives of these guys? Simple conclusion is that crude oil is soon coming down.
