Since the Arab world hates everything we stand for already, why not just invade and take their oil? It would take all of 20 minutes, and a couple hundred cruise missiles. Done deal. I'm game.

That's intelligent.

As a hedge against gas prices buy a commodities or oil based ETF like OIL (that's the ticker). Any increase in the pump will be offset by an increase in the share price.

I like Donald Trump's theory. Let the price of wheat match the price of oil. $100.00 a barrel $100.00 a bushel.

Donald Trump can't really be as dumb as he sounds, can he? I think Trump pretends to have no concept of economics so he can appeal to people who have no clue. The value of commodities in a free-market economy - believe it or not - is tied to supply, demand, and perceived future supply and demand.

At the high volume cheap place for 87:

3.1 - $3.49

2.18 - $3.31


But there is no inflation, but there is no inflation, but there is no inflation....

Sorry, this information does not compute. The only way I gamble away my money is on the poker tables, and that tends to be pretty low risk for me. The only ETF's I invest in on a regular basis are 5.56mm and 7.62mm. I also deal in steel, with ETF's like 2.75in FFAR and .50 cal API, and an occaisonal AGM-114. And business is a boomin I tell ya. Literally.

3.68 for 93 now in NC

That has only exacerbated the problem. Commodity ETF's take supply away from the consumer because the futures contracts have to be backed by physical product held in storage until the contracts expire.

That's his point. 12 Guys sitting around the OPEC table dictating the price of oil is not supply and demand. So tit for tat - $100 wheat for $100 oil. Like he says - just start to enact that and they will buckle. Same with China artificially keep the yuan low - rather than letting the market determine its value. Start the wheels turning for a 25% tariff and China will buckle.

He also says that from his building he can see tankers lined up down the river - not in line to unload, but being used as storage - because US storage capacity is busting at the seams. There is no shortage - so the price should be nowhere near $100.
