Comment by Nomad (4.00 / 3)

Sorry, I messed up in posting the story several times to the front page, and deleted one comment by Nomad when deleting one of the imporperly posted versions. Here it is, again:

I like the first one. It has that sense of realistic guesstimate written all across it.

On the other hand, should we note that Bloomberg now sticks to a long-term spot price over $130?

Heh (4.00 / 4)

I'm becoming properly Jeromenised! I can actually spot the ridiculousness in financial graphs before J points it out in the text!

But really, the Bloomberg graph is an instant keeper; I don't think I have ever seen something like that before. In a decade or so, it may well have people rolling on the floor with hysteric laughter at such a brazen display of ideological ineptitude.

Yewah, the traders (not Bloomberg) are blind. And hard chance futures will show further sharp rise, telling the demanders of gas tax cuts how shortsighted they are.
