… although I doubt that enlightenment is what she seeks. First of all, people who actually know what they’re talking about (they’re called “economists”) insist that evil speculators actually smooth out markets and dampen wild price oscillations.If airline presidents were smarter, they would purchase aviation fuel on the futures markets so that they would know in advance what their fuel costs would be and plan accordingly.

… throughout this year. A number of factors have been named by experts as causes of the ever high oil price. The list includes unstable geopolitical situation in Middle East, problem in supply-demand equation and most tellingly speculation.

For one thing, the surge in investment in oil futures is not that large relative …
