Just wondering what everyone thinks about the soaring oil prices and if they have to do anything with the rv. I can't remember the source, but I was reading the other day that the soaring oil prices are caused by a group of speculators that are artificially causing the price to rise. This is exactly what happened the last time this happened, except we're in a different situation--the economy is still in rather bad shape, oil reserves are plentiful and nothing has changed since several months ago when crude oil was 20.00 cheaper. The article also implied that the Chinese are a key player in the oil prices right now. An article previously on dinarspeculation.com said that the Iraqi budget that was passed was based on oil prices in the 60's. Is the rising oil prices related to the RV, or is it a coincidence?
