You have to wonder which shoe is going to drop first: the oil price or Wall Street? A sell-off in stocks last night might well be the start of a serious correction for US equities which look particularly overvalued given the obvious strains now showing in the US economy.

You got an insider view over there in Dubai, arabianmoney? Why would they want to bring down their best protector? Or do they think someone else would do the job for them?

It really seems all in the hands of the Fed and the hedge funds - not sure anybody here has much control over the oil price!

Not so, in the hands of the global banks, and the lack of oversight by the regulating entities, or rather, the absconding of oversight. Sounds like an international conspiracy to me.

Most conspiracies turn out to be cock-ups or anarchy - you need coordination and control that seldom exists.
