Siebert Outdoors Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 good deal. Keeps getting better. 8-) Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 12, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 12, 2008 WOO-HOO! Still falling and a new handle: $55.80 at the 2:00 CST close. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 think we will make it into the 40's next week? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 12, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 12, 2008 I expect OPEC to show their true colors: Call for an another "Emergency Meeting" and cut production again. The oligopoly that controls 40% of worldwide production will vigorously defend a pricing level of $50. Oil can certainly go lower, much lower, but expect resistance at $50. The "oil shortage" last summer was a mirage. The "oil glut" is real. > Quote
llPa1nll Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I like that the gas im putting into my truck is falling like a rock. I just wish that my Health Care Ins premiums would do the same. Here in southern NH it is approx. $2.21/gal. Quote

frogtog Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Finaly hit $1.98 in eastern NC today. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 its been holding at 1.88-1.89. No changes as of late. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 14, 2008 Well, as I have pointed out several times on this thread, oil is just another commodity and the commodity markets are very volatile. Although we have been trading well below the projected range ($60-$80), the trend still indicates lower prices in the comming months. That said, there is some correlation between the equity markets and oil futures. With the stock market jumping 554 points yesterday (+900 in the last two hours of trading), oil rose about $2.61 from yesterday's low and is currently trading at $57.28. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 as long as we stay around 60 per bbl for awhile it will be nice. I hate all these end of year bills. I think the stock market is joing to make a big jump again today. It would be nice. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 14, 2008 Well, yesterday's stock rally was the result of both the DJIA and the S&P 500 breaking through October's 52 week (intraday) lows, the lowest prices of the year! That seems like a pretty weak excuse for a 900 point rebound. It's confusing, but I think stocks will continue to trend lower. The DJIA is down 143 at the opening. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I'm sure your right. I just keep hoping it starts going up. It would be real nice to see some positive movement for awhile. All the doom and gloom news makes me want to just turn off all electrical devices and go hunting for a couple months. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted November 14, 2008 Super User Posted November 14, 2008 If the powers to be don't handle this correctly , a lot of people are going to be out of work and then it won't matter how cheap gas will be. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 14, 2008 Currently: DJIA -346 at 8489 S&P -39 at 872 Oil $56.55 Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 So RW you think 7500 by end of next week? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 14, 2008 So RW you think 7500 by end of next week? That's possible, but it might much lower: http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/citigroup-automakers-lead-futures-lower/ Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Yikes! I hope the bottom is close. Its getting real scary. Where I work the work isnt coming in like it should this time of year. And we all know what that can lead too. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 14, 2008 Well, sorry to say this, but we are at the beginning of a recession, not approaching the end. No one knows how long or how deep this will be, but batten down the hatches, there are more rough seas ahead. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 17, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 17, 2008 Oil is $56.11 this morning. Local retail is $1.85 on average in the Memphis area. Equity futures are trading lower (DJIA -87). It looks like more of the same, trending down with continued volatility. Quote
