The economy hasn't been getting better. They play with the numbers to make it LOOK like things are moving. Everything is STILL slowing down, for example, AOL is now laying off 2500. mediamemo.allthingsd.com/.../aol-we-need-to-fire-2500-volunteers/ IF things were getting BETTER this would NOT be happening!

KrispyKreme Champion Author Richmond Posts:14,980 Points:2,030,980 Joined:Oct 2003	Message Posted: Nov 20, 2009 8:34:04 PM Ignore KrispyKreme Report Abuse "Now that summer driving season is over it should be coming down. Has a long ways to go to get to $38.00 like last year at this time." - WCCurtis Oil didn't drop to $38 last year because of the end of the driving season, it fell because the bottom fell out of the economy. $38 oil would also require the Dow to crash to 6,000 again. So which would you rather, cheap gas, or a dead stock market? "squeeze as much money out of the Red States as I possibly could." NavyStore I don't get that comment.

But, if I had about $30 million dollars I'd certainly be investing in oil futures and trying to squeeze as much money out of the Red States as I possibly could. (ROFLMAO!!)
