Crude oil has dropped too far too fast. It's an invitation to "crisis theater." |
|
The sharp drop in crude has generated a motivation to stage some sort of threat, crisis, attack etc. to try and re-inflate the price.
Can't say who, how, or where (or who will be blamed).
But as you watch it unfold, just keep in mind what's really going on.
Did I say a motivation? Make that an imperative.
When the Russian invasion of Georgia couldn't get it done-- When a natural disaster like a hurricane couldn't get it done-- It's time for some real shock and awe.
Desperate times require desperate measures.
