ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri You still need to work on following your own advice, Hill. 1. Your statements and questions demonstrate that you haven't read the Market Analysis. 2. Why gripe about the KXL being built only for exports (which isn't true)? 3. Why did prices go up, then? My statements have only been about those who lie to try to get what they want. They have nothing to do with the market analysis. I wasn't griping about the KXL being for exports, I was griping about the lying by those trying to justify it (see a common thread here?) Prices went up because of insider trading and speculation, not because of supply and demand as has been shown numerous times. If supplies are higher, demand is lower and prices are going up, manipulation is the most likely suspect neh? The State Dept. report justifies it being built. Did the State Dept. lie, too? How does insider trading and speculation not factor into supply/demand curves? They are market distortion, no? The state department report justifies it. (A lot of the hundred or so pages waffle on that) but I saw no lies in the report. I simply saw data and interpretations. As for insider trading and speculation, they are just about the opposite of pure supply/demand curves. Regardless of the supply and demand for a given commodity, insider trading and speculation can drive the price in any direction they wish. Applied Econ 101. That's why insider trading is supposedly illegal.
