#3293 of 8805 Back to back days by pf_flyer HOST Apr 07, 2006 (7:24 am)
Up 6 cents yesterday and 4 cents today to wind up at $2.69   Funny, I missed the (insert natural disaster or incident of terrorism of your choice here) that the traders are using as an excuse this time.   Oh wait... I know... maybe it was all the pointless gloom and doom drumbeat in the media. Yea, that's the ticket. Why look at anything real as far and supply and demand goes. Let's run the whole thing on what we FEEL is going to happen. Replies to this message: kernick (Apr 07, 2006 3:11 pm)

You know someone is going to chime in and tell us we're nuts because all these price hikes are somehow ligit. I can hear it now, "gas is part of the world market and because China and other countries are using so much more these days, we either pay the high prices or it goes somewhere else."
#3295 of 8805 Maybe... by lemko Apr 07, 2006 (9:24 am)
...the media should report exaggerated good news for the good of all. Then, maybe the price of gasoline will fall. How about these headlines?   Osama Bin Laden Surrenders   Saddam Pleads Guilty, Graciously Accepts Death Sentence   War in Iraq is Over   Al Qaeda Enters into Peace Negotiations   President Bush's Approval Rating at 99.9% with .1% Allowed for Error   U.S. Has $600 Billion Trade Surplus with China
#3296 of 8805 As Marvin Gaye once asked... by lemko Apr 07, 2006 (2:05 pm)
"What's goin' on?"   Regular at the Sunoco at Rhawn and Verree in NE Philly was $2.59 at lunchtime. Now it's $2.65!   Regular at the Hess station near my workplace was $2.53 at lunchtime. Now it's $2.61!!!   A six and eight cent jump in 5 hours? What happened? Did Al Qaeda blow up the Statue of Liberty or did an earthquake wipe out Texas? As usual, nobody's doing anything about it but offering excuses. Replies to this message: jae5 (Apr 07, 2006 2:32 pm) rockylee (Apr 07, 2006 5:54 pm)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Apr 07, 2006 7:24 am) you: Let's run the whole thing on what we FEEL is going to happen.   me: well you can bet on future events, which is what markets and equities markets do based on 1) present events that will have an effect on the future, or 2) a general prediction of the future.   2) would include: having a feeling that in the next several months one or more of the following things will disrupt energy supplies - hurricanes, Nigerian rebels, Iran, political turmoil in other countries ... The more things to worry about, the higher the probability that there will be problems.   Apple stock went way up the other day because they announced their computers will now work with windows. They FEEL they'll sell many more computers. Were the investors foolish? should they have waited until Apple actually sold those computers and announced the profit?

The prices here are completely outrageous Mobil 2.97 Super 2.87 Premium 2.69 Regular Where is all the outrage like last summer? How come its only when prices reach new highs that people call for lower prices? Last year when it reached this level there was outrage everywhere it was the only thing that actually helped bring gas prices down. Replies to this message: kernick (Apr 08, 2006 4:48 am)

"Last year when it reached this level there was outrage everywhere it was the only thing that actually helped bring gas prices down"   That's part of the pricing psychology. Jack it up till people whine, lower it a bit (but not to previous levels) to appease them, then jack it up again...repeat over and over. Two steps forward, one step back. Hurricane season should be fun this year...I've already seen meteorological predictions of another rough season. Maybe that has the speculators excited too.   This year's profits should create some excellent tax breaks and other associated perks.
