Clearly the market fundamentals underlying energy haven’t changed..so says a trader on the exchange floor

while continuing with:

so it, I mean, the run up, sorta, in price is clearly a matter of speculators..

Got that? The price of oil isn’t because of the market, at least not the free market. It is because of speculators. The speculator market. Yah, oh wait, isn’t price always a speculation, a trimming, growing, vital thing. The thing that is the heart of capitalism. Und spekulation is kapital. Otherwise it is set, fixed, static, without changing information, without risk, boring to both bear and bull. Or is that all just so much Bullshit to keep you away from my Lamborghini, my sacred cow is your holy cow.

To Be Clear, A Game Is Always A Game, Until You Fool Yourself.
