>> Why do you think crude ran up to $114 per barrel this spring? Why does ANY market do what markets do? It doesn't alter the fact that without so-called "speculation", the variance in commodity prices far higher. We know that. More importantly, without commodities, business risk is much higher, and the result is increased costs of goods and services. See: Southwest Airlines (which someone else mentioned previously). When someone suggests getting rid of commodity trading, you immediately know you're discussing the subject with a nitwit.
