    Turns out there's absolutely no connection between increased U.S. drilling and falling gas prices.

    I for one am shocked. SHOCKED.

    Don't we have an "oil running thread" ? If not we should have.

    I sold it short on a tip from Moddy, made a killing when it got locked.

    Yes, but it's a plug-in electric, so it won't be ready to use for another nine hours.

    Threads being locked is strictly a function of supply and demand. I would be happy to explain it to you over some nice Sacher torte.

    Better lock it now. The price might go up again tomorrow.

    Anyone have a link to the regression analysis? I only saw a link to some data the AP said it used. If that's it, there's some serious omitted variable bias. Regardless, there's some tainted variable issues.

    You should have held on. Price went up today due to heavy internet traffic over Tebow/ Saints.
