Maaf sebelumnya, tapi saya tidak tahan untuk memforward data dan informasi berikut. Kita semua ini sebenarnya ditipu habis habisan oleh para Investment Banker di Wall St. Jangan sampai negara hancur karena mereka.
Benar bahwa kebutuhan minyak dunia naik, tapi harga crude minyak sampai 130 USD, itu non-sense. Bohong. Even kebutuhan minyak Cina tidak setinggi itu. Dalam 6 bulan terakhir ini masyrakat dunia tahu akan terjadinya slowing growth pertumbuhan ekonomi di AS, China dan India. Jadi harga sekarang itu tidak reflect fundamental. Berikut data dan informasi yang sangat jujur : (1) Bukti: Hedge Funds & Pension Fund are driving oil & comodity price to the moon http://www.menafn.com/qn_news_story.asp?StoryId=%7BC8522E84-07CA- 417D-8DD3-10C0C377F3A2%7D ============================ Financial speculators on congressional hot seat Lawmakers to query role of investment money in commodity spikes By Laura Mandaro, MarketWatch Last Update: 9:13 PM ET May 19, 2008 NEW YORK (Menafn - MarketWatch) -- Pension funds and other institutional investors are driving commodity prices to the moon by allocating massive amounts of money to energy and agricultural investments and sidestepping regulatory limits on big speculative bets, according to research expected to be presented to Congress on Tuesday. .................... (2) The Real Reason Behind Record High Oil Prices- Part 2 http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article4793.html Goldman Sachs again in the middle The oil price today, unlike twenty years ago, is determined behind closed doors in the trading rooms of giant financial institutions like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank or UBS. The key exchange in the game is the London ICE Futures Exchange (formerly the International Petroleum Exchange). ICE Futures is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Atlanta Georgia International Commodities Exchange. ICE in Atlanta was founded in part by Goldman Sachs which also happens to run the world's most widely used commodity price index, the GSCI, which is over-weighted to oil prices. As I noted in my earlier article, ('Perhaps 60% of today's oil price is pure speculation'), ICE was focus of a recent congressional investigation. It was named both in the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' June 27, 2006 , Staff Report and in the House Committee on Energy & Commerce's hearing in December 2007 which looked into unregulated trading in energy futures. Both studies concluded that energy prices' climb to $128 and perhaps beyond is driven by billions of dollars' worth of oil and natural gas futures contracts being placed on the ICE. Through a convenient regulation exception granted by the Bush Administration in January 2006, the ICE Futures trading of US energy futures is not regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, even though the ICE Futures US oil contracts are traded in ICE affiliates in the USA . And at Enron's request, the CFTC exempted the Over-the-Counter oil futures trades in 2000. So it is no surprise to see in a May 6 report from Reuters that Goldman Sachs announces oil could in fact be on the verge of another "super spike," possibly taking oil as high as $200 a barrel within the next six to 24 months. That headline, "$200 a barrel!" became the major news story on oil for the next two days. How many gullible lemmings followed behind with their money bets? Arjun Murti, Goldman Sachs' energy strategist, blamed what he called "blistering" (sic) demand from China and the Middle East , combined with his assertion that the Middle East is nearing its maximum ability to produce more oil. Peak Oil mythology again helps Wall Street. The degree of unfounded hype reminds of the kind of self-serving Wall Street hype in 1999-2000 around dot.com stocks or Enron. In 2001 just before the dot.com crash in the NASDAQ, some Wall Street firms were pushing sale to the gullible public of stocks that their companies were quietly dumping. Or they were pushing dubious stocks for companies where their affiliated banks had a financial interest. In short as later came out in Congressional investigations, companies with a vested interest in a certain financial outcome used the media to line their pockets and that of their companies, leaving the public investor holding the bag. It would be interesting for Congress to subpoena the records of the futures positions of Goldman Sachs and a handful of other major energy futures players to see if they are invested to gain from a further rise in oil to $200 or not. 3) Ada kemungkinan hari ini (Kamis) terjadi dumping Crude Oil/Commodity market.
