so..let's talk about oil. Down over 50% in three months....ouch The high prices in oil has certainly been a tax on the economy too. It's not only filling your gas tank, it affects the price of everything we buy whether through transportation costs or actual use in the manufacturing price. The lower price of oil is going to help the overall health of the U.S. economy...IMO And you just know that the high prices of oil have fueled a boom in the middle east.....I'm thinking we are going to see a real bust over yonder as they scale back from their recently built up infrastructure. Is there a way to short dubai? (yes, I know they don't have oil, but they have been building there at unprecedented (and lavish) levels.
