After the huge jump in crude, the surprising thing is that prices are not more volatile still.. As with the OSX sharp, brief corrections in crude are a virtual certainty. This should not surprise anybody.

Venezeulan Cheating ? ...per Andre's question {{ Agreed, prices have been volatile for a while, but the drop from $18.80+ at 10:00 to $18.10 at around 12:00 is scary to me. }} {{ what caused such a sharp drop at mid-day? }} ...technical lack of short covering left, initial spate of profit taking and the leak on the known Venezeulan cheating that will show up in the ''JUNE" compliance reports - by the ''Great American'' the inimitable Lawrence Kudlow ! ...if you think that was anything - just wait (VBG) ! ******************************************************************************** Andre - no problem; I can appreciate your point. ie: {{ Now a note to the "belligerents" on this thread: You all have proved your value with good quality posts in the past, so why lowering yourselves to even responding one another?}} Quite simply it has to do with ''Natural Selection'' and the ''Law of the Jungle''. When the Chihuahua's of the World, get a little cocky and think they can come down off the porch to play with the ''Bad Dogs'' who live (and live very well - by the way) by running fast and biting hard - they need to be bit, shaken by the scruff of their neck and chased back onto the porch - where they belong. Sorry, but sometimes "Dog Fights'' aint a pretty sight ... Run Fast & Bite Hard ! your pal, $lider Ps - fwiw: If anyone could read the private messages I am getting - you would think my repsonses are mild... This is NOT to say all the private messages are negative, actually I respect a few significant posters who wish to keep their support anonmyous - no problemo.... I ''aint'' here for tea & crumpets (that's for you Secret Squirrel) - popularity contests don't make anyone no stinkin $.
