SEC Encourages Short Sales of Crude Oil

Of course I’m making a joke about this bit of absurdity: SEC to Limit Short Sales of Fannie, Freddie, Brokers

Meanwhile, back in the real world:

“U.S. gasoline demand fell 5.2 percent last week, the 12th consecutive weekly decline, a sign record pump prices are changing driving habits.”

Some guy wearing pajamas recently pointed out that monthly crude was mighty stretched … thank god no one pays attention to those blasted bloggers.

    pete: Depends on what? 8-) My brand consciousness is very poor (another benefit of being an expat). I did see the Nowak thing at the time and commented: love is a terrible thing (and the human heart is full of mystery).
