Should Oil Companies be Bbanned from Owning Ethanol Plants
(ContentDesk) November 21, 2005 -- For many , the time of alternative fuels has finally become a viable option to pure petroleum based fuels . E85 is 85% ethanol and 15 unleaded gas . It's appeal is not only that it typically cost less than unleaded , not that it only shifts and lowers our dependence from
foreign based oil to supporting American based Agri-Business; but to many the greatest appeal is simply that E85 is a fuel product that directly competes with Big Oil.When gasoline prices skyrocket the question of whether Big Oil is price gouging or always emerges , whether it is true or not the bottom line is they can raise the price to whatever price they want because there have been no viable fuel options..until now with E85.Big Oil companies are making billions each quarter , Exxon Mobil for example earned 10 BILLION in the 3rd Quarter of 2005 alone , Royal Dutch Shell made $9 billion and British Petroleum made 6.5 billion.These companies have absolutely no competition other than to each other and some have questioned if that's even competition when they all sell product within a few points of each other. How many times have we seen all the stations in our Cities selling gas within a few pennies of each other. And is it really competition when they all are making eye popping profits , it looks more like a profit sharing plan where they all partake.E85 typically sells for .25 to 70 cents less a gallon than unleaded , that pricing creates a true competition to the Oil Companies gasoline products .If the Oil Companies are allowed to buy into the ethanol industry more than they already are then E85 wil no longer be a viable pricing option .
The oil Companies will simply price the Ethanol/ E85 Fuels at the same or higher price than unleaded gas to protect their Oil Interest and once again placing the consumer in a situation without options.That's our view we'd like to hear yours.Cast your Votes and Comments at http://E85Vehicles.com.
Each Crude Oil Futures Contract Returned $38,000 From 9/11 to October 2004
If one had bought one crude oil futures contract in November 2001, right after 9/11, and held until October 2004, just before this past election, one would have realized a profit of over $38,000.
But with margin requirements of only $3500 per contract, one would have invested only $3500 for each contract.
An unbelievable return of 1000% in 34 months.
In "Crude Bedfellows", a new book by Sean Hewitt, the author uses his own commodities trading background to suggest that a bull market in crude oil was set-up by the most powerful people in the oil world.Intertwining politics, crude oil futures trading, money management techniques in futures trading and the war on terror, what may seem obvious turns out not to be so.
And what seems impossible turns out to be completely plausible.
Sean Hewitt has two decades of trading experience in the commodities futures markets and he uses that knowledge very subtly to contend that the big move is usually over...
