[10:51] {ese} rats....there I go trying to think again
[10:53] {RonS} crude 46
[10:55] {ese} thats just a wow......who'd have thunk this a year ago
01[10:56] {@Threei}  I did... I just never thought it could happen this fast
[10:56] {cosmo} shape shifters... i knew it
[10:57] {ese} what clues were you two lookin at
[10:57] {dino} hlss??
[10:57] {cosmo} biotech breakthrus
[10:58] {ese} not gettin ya cos......how does that figure in
01[10:58] {@Threei}  don't see any news dino
01[10:59] {@Threei}  ese... for a good while there were plenty of tensions in all the oil-producing regions,
01[10:59] {@Threei}  east, russia,
[10:59] {RonS} hlss somehow associated w/ ocn...
[10:59] {nemo} watch for IMW bounce artound here
[10:59] {nemo} IWM
01[10:59] {@Threei}  all the israel/palestine and ISIS problerms,
[10:59] {dino} thats all i can figure ron
[10:59] {ese} ya
01[11:00] {@Threei}  russia/ukraine
01[11:00] {@Threei}  yet oil didn't move up, and even slid slightly
[11:00] {ese} I would have thought that would've driven the prices up
[11:00] {ese} hmmmmmm
01[11:00] {@Threei}  this is what I cann price-information duivergence
01[11:00] {@Threei}  call
[11:00] {ese} makes sense Didn't notice that
01[11:00] {@Threei}  add all the fracking production
01[11:01] {@Threei}  a few years of rising US-based oil
[11:01] {dino} mhk spike
01[11:01] {@Threei}  and picture starts shaping up
01[11:01] {@Threei}  US goes energy-independent
01[11:02] {@Threei}  largest oil buyer takes itself off market
[11:02] {ese} :/
01[11:02] {@Threei}  and becomes a seller
[11:02] {cosmo} hmm...getting coffee now
01[11:02] {@Threei}  now take all the peak oil and green energy leftist talk, and shove it where it belongs. Welcome to real world
[11:02] {ese} don't forget the hypodermic needle......coffee works better that way...quicker
[11:03] {RonS} think you just made cosmo ill...
[11:03] {cosmo} I.V. here
[11:03] {ese} lol
[11:04] {dino} cosmo kramer
[11:04] {cosmo} my gut tells me anything that kills fracking is good
[11:05] {cosmo} cosmo topper rather
01[11:05] {@Threei}  add to that saudis who learned their lesson in 80 when they tried to cut production to support prices
01[11:06] {@Threei}  This time around they know all it does is leaves them without the market share
01[11:07] {@Threei}  so, having one of the lowest production costs they prefer to keep the volume up this time
[11:07] {ese} makes sense
[11:07] {cosmo} Time to kill all the alternatives. They've saved up for it...
01[11:07] {@Threei}  but this is one of the accelerating factors
01[11:07] {@Threei}  All those before this were the reasons I thought oil was done
01[11:08] {@Threei}  plus my favorite... crowds opinion
01[11:08] {@Threei}  everywhere it was accepted notion that oil/gas prices have nowehere to go but up
[11:09] {ese} Is going to have to be a trickle-down effect people are going to have to work for less to get the stuff out of the ground though
01[11:09] {@Threei}  "buy small cars, gas will only get more epensive"
01[11:09] {@Threei}  who wouldn't believe this a year ago?
[11:09] {ese} I didn't
01[11:09] {@Threei}  really? you thought gas would drop in price?
[11:10] {ese} It's a finite non renewable resource... It's going to run out sometime
[11:10] {ese} Not in my lifetime but.....
01[11:10] {@Threei}  ummm
01[11:11] {@Threei}  you track the line of conversation? :)
[11:11] {ese} Not drop in price increase in price
01[11:11] {@Threei}  there you go
01[11:11] {@Threei}  so you did believe that
01[11:12] {@Threei}  and so did practically everyone around
[11:12] {cosmo} oil is now a war weapon ...changes the math
01[11:12] {@Threei}  it always was
[11:12] {cosmo} financial
01[11:12] {@Threei}  1:1  WMT
[11:13] {nemo} it's a political weapon
01[11:13] {@Threei}  it played same role before
[11:13] {cosmo} the 1973 war it think
[11:14] {cosmo} =1974 gas lines
01[11:14] {@Threei}  yes, and during ussr war in afghan
01[11:15] {@Threei}  sharp oil decline ended that war
01[11:15] {@Threei}  and eventually ussr itself
[11:15] {cosmo} hmm
[11:16] {RonS} ondk now below deck
[11:16] {cosmo} the afghan curse
