    oil has fallen 10% in the last few months, doesn't seem to correlate well with the QE theories.

    the us dollar is "defaulting"? what do you even mean by that?

      oil has fallen because the US reserves were opened to ease the rising cost of oil.

        lol. that's absurd - there was already a huge supply glut of unrefined oil. opening the reserves did nothing, furthermore the amount they released is dwarfed by how much we consume in a day.

        It could have explained a drop immediately after they did that, but it certainly doesn't explain the drop in the last week or two. the oil reserve release was months ago.

          That was more like a month ago and it was a release of 30 million barrels over a 60 day period.

            30 million barrels isn't even a drop in the bucket. how many million barrels has libya taken off the market since their civil war started? How big is the supply glut in Cushing, Oklahoma? Big enough to last at least 2 years? Yep.

            average consumption in the US is 18 million barrels per day. China is about half that and closing the gap. Your 30 million barrel, magically make the price drop over 10% in 2 weeks, isn't even a 2 day supply.

              what says you?

              Falling oil prices would normally be a reason to celebrate and although oil prices and gasoline prices will probably fall further, economic sickness means that

                I'm not sure what your point is there. yes the lower price of oil is a sign of our economy being weak, and we'll have to use less in the future because supply is limited and demand is increasing. that's not exactly news.

                what does that have to do with your laughable idea that 30 million barrels, which is consumed 3 times in a single day globally, dropped the price of oil 10% in a matter of days, almost two months after the release was announced?

                  sorry, typo
                  the dollar has deflated while oil and other commodities have gone up
                  foreign governments and individuals buy commodities such as gold as a hedge against a weaker dollar

                  oil is going down mostly on economics, for once
                  the world is entering another recession, and expected demand is going down

                        I switched to Aluminum Foil, seems to be a little more cost effective with as much as I use.
