the jump today was attributed in part to the Opec countries not being able to meet quota in 2024! THAT is plain bull%$%$%$%$ imo.

The day traders can't make money on stocks and money anymore so they are going to keep s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g it out of OUR pockets to make their bottom lines every day. THAT should be illegal and would cause these prices to drop if they stopped this from happening.

nope ... concerns about Nigeria brought it to $100.

those "day traders" you referred to were a driving force a while ago (hedge fund speculators), when they correctly anticipated that ChIndia would be s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up oil.

NOW, it really is end users like China and India that are driving the prices up. Not the specs anymore.
