: "Bertie the Bunyip" wrote The violence has decreased slightly. "The current dramatic drop" thing is Bush-ese for "we're gonna win this thing" Numbers support the lessening violence, and they are not Bush (or anyone else) driven propaganda. Fact is, there have been less US and civilian deaths, country wide, for the past month. A good number less. Yep, I hope that it does mean that the thing has turned a corner, but I doubt it. Bertie |

: Complete and utter hogwash. One merely has to watch the market reports and every time there is a down trend in demand or an uptick in supply the price drops. If all our cars suddenly got 10 mpg more the price of oil and therefore gas would plummet. But supply is controlled by OPEC, not by free market forces, so your observations are skewed. OPEC magically cuts supply at Holiday periods to maximize profit taking. It happens now every holiday like clockwork. Google "holiday gas price increase" and read articles from NYTimes and Wash Post, and plenty of other sources that describe this phenomenon going back to 2004, and that's just when it became so blatant that we figured it out... If you don't believe me, why don't you own a Prius? Why waste money on that overpriced roller skate when you can spend less and get better gas mileage? Proving my point exactly. |

So illuminate. What exactly is the scope of what's happening in (industrial) China? Well for starters, the government run banks are cutting back on providing funding to companies selling things at a loss. As a result nonperforming loans as a percentage of outstanding loans are down to 35% from the 50% of a year or so ago. The total amount of nonperforming loans has been estimated to be as high as approximetly $1 trillion. Expect higher costs for Chinese goods as borrowers are expected to make profits and repay their loans in the future. Either that, or the whole Chinese economy is going to implode on bad debt that exceeds the GNP. Well, some good news comes out of this thread. |

"Newps" wrote in message . .. If fewer people are buying oil, the oil companies need to increase their price to the market in order to keep revenues and profit margins up. They are public companies with market expectations, which further drives the need for increased prices. Complete and utter hogwash. One merely has to watch the market reports and every time there is a down trend in demand or an uptick in supply the price drops. If all our cars suddenly got 10 mpg more the price of oil and therefore gas would plummet. Like OPEC gives a crap about "demand"? |
