It is interesting how oil prices dropped as the economic crisis unfolded. I remember discussions earlier this summer concerning oil price as to if it was high due to "real economy" issues (supply vs high demand China india etc) or because it was treated (and traded) more or less as a stock market thingy. What happened? China won't be needing any oil this winter? Even the term "real economy", frequently used now by politicians is alarming! "Real economy" as opposed to what? An "unreal" one? Did we overdo it with abstract "profiteering"? Why is the *********g price "on the pump" not dropping?
