Oil Prices: Don’t Blame OPEC

Posted by Matt in October 30th, 2007

Attiya says that rising prices are the end result of crises in places like Iraq, Iran, Venezuela and Nigeria, which “create more fears, and speculators are very smart. They jump into the market and take this factor and create it as fear. They try to frighten the world. ‘Oh, maybe the oil will be disappear. Oh, maybe there will be a war.’ But with all the fears of the world, still the supply is very efficient.”

	Patriot News Hour_4/28/08:OPEC/$200 Oil Possible pt3 http://www.allamericangold.com/ Warren Buffett Calls Recession Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway has been on CNBC this morning discussing his Wrigley's bid this morning. Interestingly enough this interview was more of a general discussion about the current economic climate and strategy since he said, "We are in a recession." The call in the last few minutes also noted that the classic definition of a recession being negative GDP for two consecutive quarters and a 0.1% growth may keep the classic definition from being there. He also noted that the National Bureau of Economic Research is the one who officially calls the classic recession, and that definition is far different "from the man in the streets." He also noted that the current trade policies will weaken the dollar, although he...

	Patriot News Hour_4/28/08:OPEC/$200 Oil Possible pt2 http://www.allamericangold.com/ Many Houses, Not Enough People As we look at the "Vacantvilles"- those communities at the far reaches of the metro areas- where foreclosures and walk-aways number more than sales, it's hard not to wonder, "What will become of all these empty homes if buyers don't show?" It's not a program without its problems, but other cities are looking at Youngstown's decision to "embrace downsizing". Youngstown is demolishing older neighborhoods- it's hard to look at spanking new communities with their greenbelts and community centers and picture them being bulldozed. High gas prices and low demand however, are blighting some of these communities as surely as lost jobs have hurt inner cities in the midwest. In many instances, abandoned homes are becoming targets for...

	Patriot News Hour_4/28/08:OPEC/$200 Oil Possible pt4 http://www.allamericangold.com/ OPEC President Says $200 Oil Possible OPEC President Chakib Khelil does not rule out oil prices reaching $200 a barrel, even though supply is adequate, because the market is driven by the dollar's slide, Algerian government newspaper El Moudjahid reported on Monday. "Questioned about a possible rise which would go to $200, the minister did not rule out this eventuality, explaining that this rise is indexed from now on to the fall in the dollar or to the rise in the dollar," El Moudjahid reported. "In terms of fundamentals, stocks are high, demand is easing, supply is satisfactory. Therefore normally, without geo-political problems and the fall of the dollar, the prices of oil would not be at this level," he was quoted as saying.

	Authors@Google: Dr. Robert Zubrin In his book "Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil," world-renowned engineer and best-selling author Robert Zubrin lays out a bold plan for breaking the economic stranglehold that the OPEC oil cartel has on our country and the world. Zubrin presents persuasive evidence that our decades-long relationship with OPEC has resulted in the looting of our economy, the corruption of our political system, and now the funding and protection of terrorist regimes and movements that are committed to our destruction.

The Auburn Hills, Mich. automaker has valued its Detroit and Marysville plants at $400 million, and has already approached axle suppliers Dana Holding Corp. and American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. over a possible deal, the Journal reported. The offer has sparked little interest, however, as any deal would require the buyer to work out a labor deal with the United Auto Workers at the Detroit plant, the newspaper said.
