If you think about the last boom it was during a recession weak dollar times. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst

I've heard it said that although it is a commodity it is a little more "unpredictable" for buyers/sellers due in part to the "fashion" aspect. “I don't know, Chief, if he's very smart or very dumb.” Capt.

The world runs on oil.... _________ I used to have superpowers… but a therapist took them away. The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

It goes up and down relative to supply and demand. That's my opinion too. Like gas, if there is a glut or over production, prices will be cheap. But, if there is a shortage, prices will be high. Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.
