Who behind Uncontrolled Oil Price
jacky | May 22, 2008 | 4:56 am

When oil price became uncontrolled, more than half of populations are suffered. Expansions to find new oil mine is hoped to increase our stock.Who behind the uncontrolled oil price?

Many people suggest that running high oil price is caused by declined Dollar against major currencies. To day, oil price makes its new record again around $133 USD per barrel. Main factors they said is declined on dollar against major currencies, announcement from USA government about their latest oil strategies stock, high demand in China on oil.

I know well about supply and demand and equilibrium. While supply is running low (demand is constant), new equilibrium is running higher than before. Oil isn’t others goods like TV, Cellular, Coffee and more. Oil is very sensitive goods. Because the supply is running low in future; and demand is still up because of populations grow significantly; we see, if external factors harm the equilibrium, oil price becomes uncontrolled.

Paper and Ink and Correlation with Speculators and Investors
jacky | May 4, 2008 | 11:04 am

Tracy Chapman, my female-blues-singer fan; has launched a great song for me on this album Telling Stories. The song is Paper and Ink! All of his albums charmed me; previously my friend introduced Tracy to me ten years ago.I knew one thing; the singer is a male because of the sound. Tracy was laying me! Huaa huaa huaa!

Back to topic! Tracy said, Money is only paper and ink! So don’t greedy and don’t be arrogant with money; don’t show to people if you have money.

Money makes us stay alive. All of us agree that. Money feed me and money can make us to feces nicely. We need money as well us we need love and we need heaven with our honest activities to others. Money is important for us.

When oil supply is running low, and external factors makes oil price run high, investor look this phenomena as money purpose; money target, so they are fight force, greedy to get more money with their money in stock market, forex (exchange market), Commodities market and more. They greedy to get more money while suffering others.

Do you agree with me, agree with a stupid metropolis opinion that in crucial case Investor behavior hurt others? Investors hurt net oil importer countries. Yes! While oil price is running high and uncertainly, investors take profit. High oil price make poor countries governments rearrange their budget; oil price also strike business cost. High in Cost of Production make them reduce their employees; reduce labor, so unemployment is getting high. Labors make demonstrate to oppose the fired.

Business is in red line; they have two choices; reduce employees, or increase their products price. Hard Choice!!

First choice; if they fired more labor, they responsibility to unemployment and the second one is more difficult, increase their price products. While consumers have lower PPP (purchasing power parity), higher price is no good because they will lose their market segment, lose or lower in profit, ECT. Read more »

Oil US Dollar and Investor
jacky | April 22, 2008 | 5:16 pm

Today, oil makes its new record again. Oil runs to $120 per barrel. The main factors behind the new record are USD weak against Euro and Sabotage in Nigeria. If we look back, when governments worried when Oil ran close to $100 per barrel then $108 per barrel, some day before $112 per barrel and $118 per barrel, and hold at $120 per barrel today.
Some week ago, we got good news from Brasilia that they have found the new oil mine. The new oil mine can supply more then 20 percent of OPEC supply. The new made oil price declined to $112 per barrel. Now bad news comes.

Why oil price is too sensitive? When Oil Price was running high and high, the factors didn’t come from the supply, but Stock Exchange did. Investor took profit; Dollar was declined against Euro and some major currencies.
Why Dollar is too sensitive to make Oil Price fluctuating? Why we still use Dollar as Oil Price? Why not Euro or Japan Yen?
The question had been asked to my lecture in university. Why we still use Dollar as the measurement of Oil Price? I said. Actually I didn’t get best answer from him? I read the television; some analysts said that the main factor why we still use USD as Oil Price is because Dollar is transparent and more fluctuating currency if we combined with others.

Hello Investors! Why did you do to us?
jacky | March 16, 2008 | 7:30 pm

Today Metro TV news ‘Market Review’ said that lowering USD against Yen Japan to 96.88 in this morning caused the oil price up to 111 USD per barrel. Fantastic Investor! Investors do in the right place. They won much. They become richer and richer. The reporter also said that while Yen Japan appreciation against USD, some of Asia Stock is down around 1 to 2.5 percent. Fantastic! Investors gain and won many dollars.
The chief of OPEC said that raise upper 111 USD per barrel is not caused by oil supply but caused by the lowering of USD against some currencies include Yen Japan, Euro, GBP and other currencies from big countries.

What did Investors do to us? They make us suffer. They make us pay more for one liter oil. Investors only think about how to take more profit but they think about their profit will suffer others.
As poor countries which have net oil import, increasing of oil price make their government must rearrange their budget, their plan and their subsidies.

Investors do right action. We need profit because of speculation, but speculation on oil price is stupid action. Anyone knows that oil become limited and very sensitive with price. The lowering of USD not only causes the increasing oil price but disturb all market, stock market and real market. Businessmen also suffer by the investors taking profit action. They make the businessmen credit on Dollar will higher.

Lastly, we can see in this week the movement and the fluctuating of Dollar. America must do something. I know that government intervention on market is not allowed but if there is no intervention, it means government suffers millions people and consumers because all price based on oil and commodities price increase and we have lost our ability to pay because real money down significantly.

In my opinion, Hello Investor, please stay down and hold your money. How much money that you want? You have been rich. Just stay and put on hold your money. Let oil price down.
