Interesting that you mention oil, Clo, cause it was the asset I wondered about back when I was studying the real estate bubble forming. Since oil had never before formed a bubble and it was a necessary commodity - I was very curious as to how large it would get. Well, we found out in '08 when it hit 140ppb. Then dropped pretty quickly to 50.

IMO - crude is the most manipulated of the necessary commodities. I observe it, but don't trade it.

I'm with you, you can't eat it, cook with it, heat your home, or protect yourself from harm.

It's like diamonds (to me) a luxury, that I can live without.

A barrel of oil is another story. Most folks NEED oil, & it can be used to barter, won't go bad.
