The government jumps in on oil prices as they plummet | The Wichita Eagle

Here are a couple of interesting pieces on the oil price issue.

First is this report that hedge funds and their ilk will have their oil positions publicly disclosed. That can’t be comfortable for the companies who gleefully forecast $300 a barrel oil a year ago.

Next comes the revelation that supply is up and demand is down for gasoline, ironically just a couple of weeks after speculators pushed the price above $70, claiming just the opposite. Go figure.

Wednesday’s looking like a bad day for the supply and demand canard, eh?
