It will be a 1.50 after we are done with Venezuela and Iran. Just have a lil patience. Gas was 3.50 in my area between 2021-2024 most of the time anyway. Gas was 4.50 under GWB. The scarcity scam is what it is, a scam to maintain high prices.

I'm glad I paid attention to geopolitics and correctly made the decision to buy oil futures mid Feb.  It's easy to let oneself get pulled into divisive political bickering but what value does that really have?  You convince almost no one and your ability to clearly see the realities in front of you becomes clouded which is costly.

Glad I guess you are making money from this .. :confused:

My eyes aren't clouded. 

I started going short as soon as YKW was elected.

It took a while to pay off, but I know a good bet when I see one.

Explain to me why anyone should not use knowledge and good judgment to profit from a likely outcome?  It was almost certainly going to happen regardless, why not benefit? Is there a benefit from only suffering the downsides?

Good or bad, all actions have consequences. Since the issue happens under the P word there is zero escape from the P word. Most your subjects always begin and caused by the P word. Why your post always end up locked.

The prices were caused by a political act, this is doomed. I would bet in vegas on this. You can have your cake and eat it too. This is normally common logic, it won’t take but a few mire post before it gies full blown politics. At what point do you learn this instead of repeating it.

Its foolish to think a political caused act cannot go political.

This will get locked and you’ll try again like a goldfish in a fish bowl. Going political is on you.

Btw, his youngest son just made 40 million iff price increase, hey do not care if prices come down, they profit off your struggle, bigly. Niw they made iver 4 billion from that office while you eat dirt

I wouldn't concern yourself daily fluctuations.  Nothing goes in a straight line. 
The real question is, how are things going to look economically between now and the mid-terms.  It will daily jitter above and below that trendline.
This is not near over.  It's going to go on for a long time.
The other side gets a vote on if it's over.  They can make it hard to do business in the area.

Like I said before, price increases are temporary. In the long term we'll see them go down. That is what everyone wants right? Lower gas prices?
