In the short term, I think it is clear that speculation affects oil prices, but over the long term, I am less than convinced. Specifically, with all derivatives, there is someone on the other side of the deal; it is a zero-sum game unless someone takes delivery. If speculation drove the long-term price of oil, it seems to me that the speculators would be required to take delivery of the oil at some point in hopes of selling it at a higher price. If the speculators are not taking delivery, supply and demand must dictate the price of oil as the long-derivative speculator simply offsets the position of the short-derivative speculator until the contracts settle or expire. Since speculators who do not take delivery are not affecting supply and demand, how could speculation cause a long term increase in the price? News commentators continue to bang the drum of speculation causing the price rises, but I remain unconvinced. Now is your chance to convince me where my analysis falls short.

If the oil price is projected so far ahead why does the national petrol/diesel price rise so often in small increments. Could the fuel authorities not work thier increases out on a more once off basis by looking at the forecasted oil price figures.

Can anybody explain to me why is the price of crude oil continues to pushing upward?
The highest price in mid summer was $75, and at the time I thought that was high. Now, it seems the price $75/barrel is like a miracle.
Are we demanding more oil during the winter month than the busy summer season? What is going on? Was there a hurricane hit somewhere that I missed? Is the hurricane season still going on?
I can’t understand the spike in the crude oil price so late in the year.

Is it possible that by selling major oil companies stock and re-fusing to purchase in vestments with those companies would that force these companies to drop the market value for there product? If this resource is being traded as a commodity instead of using the don’t buy gas from that company to force price change. Would it not be more effective if everyone sold stock in those companies and re-fursed to purchase stock or investments with those compnies and sub-companies to bring the price of oil down???
