Knowing absolutely nothing about oil and the industry, I don't view paying $3 a gallon now vs $4.29 a couple months ago as a "crisis."

Time for some shale driller bailout planning. If it breaks OPEC it's good for everyone. The unholy amount of funding that supports global terrorism will take a big hit.

Something I do not understand:<p>- barrel price went from $100 to $60. That&#x27;s $40 drop.<p>- Price went from $3.60 to $2.80 a gallon in my city. That&#x27;s $0.80 only<p>I don&#x27;t get it.

I&#x27;m admittedly naïve in this, but wouldn&#x27;t it make financial sense to buy OPEC based oil stock in the coming few months? Based on whether this is true, of course - so... In theory naturally.

Shucks, fracking is no longer profitable. I was really looking forward to more earth quakes and flammable tap water.

Why not just implement tariffs on foreign oil?

Why does the author keep saying &quot;If OPEC doesn&#x27;t interfere&quot;? Is the author in favor of price-fixing? I thought all sane human beings understand that a monopoly controlling the price of something is bad.<p>That&#x27;s why the author did not mention the reason that &quot;OPEC doesn&#x27;t interfere&quot; is that the Saudis are waiting for this new price level to bankrupt the Shale enterprise in the US.
