JimL1 Champion Author Phoenix Posts:5,744 Points:807,550 Joined:Jul 2003	Message Posted: Mar 10, 2010 6:03:43 AM Ignore JimL1 Report Abuse Yes, I have been tracking speculator postings on this site for weeks. The least number of articles designed to increase speculation on any one day has been two. Today it is the highest ever with five out of five. Speculators tend to win more profits as more of those not deeply experienced in commodity speculation get into the game. It is very similar to a poker game in that respect. The new players/speculators normally get their clocks cleaned and the experienced players/speculators increase their winnings. Stirring up the frenzy of speculators increases the cost of fuel. Is this what we need on a site that is supposed to be dedicated to helping people find less expensive fuel?

And, JimL1 ... you are perceptive. Guess GasBuddy is "going on the take" ... no gate keeper ... no "fair and balanced" approach.
JimL1 Champion Author Phoenix Posts:5,744 Points:807,550 Joined:Jul 2003	Message Posted: Mar 10, 2010 5:54:19 AM Ignore JimL1 Report Abuse All five articles were put up by the same person, stpetebp . Is stpetebp a speculator? This question is valid since all articles on the Gas Buddy Blog/Recent News site today are designed to feed the speculator frenzy. 1)" Higher gasoline prices coming”, 2)“ Queensland picks banks for A$7bn rail IPO,” 3)“ Oil Struggles For Clear Direction From $81.50,” 4)" Tullow says profits have been hit by falling oil prices,” and 5)” OPEC President Vows to Reduce Oil-Price Speculation, Volatility.” The fifth article may be good news in the long run, but in the short, probably not. These articles are simply more attempts to stir up the frenzy of speculators. Stirring up the frenzy of speculators increases the cost of fuel. Is this what we need on a site that is supposed to be dedicated to helping people find less expensive fuel?

Weren't these bailed out by us? To perform this transaction, don't they need to be investment banks? Investment banks expose themselves to much riskier investments. Are we AGAIN exposing our taxpayers money to risky projects?

TheSnowstorm Champion Author Montreal Posts:6,817 Points:1,473,500 Joined:June 2005	Message Posted: Mar 10, 2010 5:25:23 AM Ignore TheSnowstorm Report Abuse China is looking for cheap energy sources, namely coal and they don't care about pollution. The two "dirtiest" places on Earth (from a pollution standpoint are China and India). Instead of looking for cleaner sources of energy, they are simply looking for the cheapest. This is great news for Australia, namely in increased coal exports and increased livelihood for the railways required to transport it to port, for export. The unfortunate part is that it is going to China, whose pollution policies are pathetic at best and not enforced. Their disregard in this matter is what is tipping the scales and negating the efforts of all other countries that are making the effort to reduce pollution and look for cleaner, renewable forms of energy to power their industries.
