NEW YORK -- Crude-oil futures fell 3% in late morning trading Tuesday, after slumping 9.4% in the previous session to the lowest in more than three years, as worries continued that a global economic slowdown will cut into energy demand. Crude oil for January delivery was last down $1.48 at $47.80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Thankfully I jumped out of everything over a year ago. Interest bearing accounts don't earn a lot but my portfolio is still in tact. Pelosi started talking about taking all my capital gains and Obama is preaching the same tune. I quit stocks and speculation in everything.

When the tides turn back for investors in 4 or 8 years, investors will be coming out of the wood work again.

For years I have had a portfolio with a guaranteed return option (which I took) when stocks start falling its major focus is those interest bearing accounts you mention.

When the largest maket in the world is facing a financial crisis I would think all aspects of the market are affected- speculation and demand being two. Probably some of the speculation has shifted to other areas of the market. And again some those speculative institutions may not have gotten their share of the bailout yet. :???:

Boogie..nothing wrong with that at all. Guaranteed, probably insured and turning a profit. Sort of like a cow trader turning cows every week. You don't make a killin' off each cow but at the end of the year you made a pretty darn good profit off the whole bunch.

Jun 6, 2008 ... George Soros: "rocketing oil price is a bubble".

"George Soros has made his mark as an enormously successful speculator, wise enough to largely withdraw when still way ahead of the game.",...

when they (speculators) start on the "green energy" investment it will be the next boom,.. (or bubble)

Green energy? That's like standing in the sun to warm yourself up. It works pretty good when the sun is shining and you are out of the wind.
