MAC48 All-Star Author Dallas Posts:728 Points:499,925 Joined:Dec 2006	Message Posted: Sep 7, 2010 4:32:25 PM Ignore MAC48 Report Abuse Good news for Cental Texas from San Antonio up to Whcita Falls and from Dallas to Big Springs. Rain is coming soon. Amazing why so many think big oil is the reason behind the prices at the pump for gasoline. The key to stopping the rapid rise & slow drop in gasoline prices is to remove crude oil & products refined from oil from the commodities markets. This would eliminate hedge funds, individual investors & foreign governments (Remember that OPEC does what ever it can to keep prices up as high as possible.) from participating in the oil & refined product trade. Only the true oil producers, refiners & distributors would be left. Then it would be a few hundred companies to keep tab on instead of many thousands of hedge funds, foreign governments & individual investors. Once the numbers that can engage in oil & refined product trading is reduced to the industry itself the it will be easy to ensure that the prices we pay are fair & reasonable.
