The Arabs are feeling the squeeze, Kuwait's GDP is 94% oil revenues.

I hope to live long enough to see these oil rich nations go bankrupt and wipe that smug smile of their Bedouin faces.

Yeah, OPEC had the great idea of lowering the price until shale-oil is no longer profitable and that will drive the Americans and the Canadians out of the market.

One problem is that the Americans have gotten so efficient, so fast with shale-oil extraction that the profit point is $40/bbl. The Kuwaitis have the most efficient and profitable oil extraction machine in the Gulf and their profit point is $54/bbl.

Ooops. Unless OPEC is going to drop it to $30/bbl and HEMORRHAGE money over time hoping to drive North America out of the market (which could take years), they can't pull this off. That said, they also have statisticians, so they may be in for the long haul, which means that $1.29/gallon gas is on the horizon!

And Russia too.

The commodity traders are the ones who run up the oil/gas prices.  They should all be hanged.

The sheeple have been brainwashed into believing sub $3 gasoline is "cheap".  The price of gas should be around $1.50-1.75/gal.
 
Saving $20 per tank full is not going to do anything for the economy.  People will take that money to pay bills and/or buy necessities, not spend it on plastic Chinese junk.  

The MSM propaganda on this stuff is thick as tar.

about 10 years ago some Saudis were ranked as the richest in the world with some estimates of $100 billion or more in net worth, then oil boomed for 10 years, these guys raked in the fucking cash, probably have individuals with net worth of $500 billion or more now but they won't disclose it.

First, it's ruble.  Second, why would you be "jacked" about the drop in the Canadian dollar?  Do you enjoy higher consumer prices and less disposable income?

I can't say for sure, but as I said, I'd be surprised if his income is in U.S dollars.  Irrespective of that, a drastic drop in the value of the Canadian dollar still represents higher consumer prices for Canadians.  Not a good thing.

True but it also makes our exports that much more appealing. It has been estimated that our economy works well when our dollar is between .85 -.90 American.

Agreed.  I just get tired of the mainstream propaganda that glorifies the  debasement of currencies as if constantly increasing inflation is always an unqualified positive.

I don't really give a shit about money in direct terms. I'm fucking digusted by consumerism in canada, its just fucking shameful.


It's not so much that I think its awsome its moreso canada's economy is so fucking out of wack its about time it's gotta put in its place. Commodities have turned our economy into a pseudo gulf state. Half the country revolves around retard oil work, the other a chink inflated real estate bubble.

You don't care if you have less disposable income?  That is nonsensical.  Experiencing a substantive drop in the price of commodities we export isn't necessarily advantageous, especially if production costs remain constant, or increase.  Nor is it a function to correct any perceived imbalances in our economy.   For that, we need to increase our productive capacity and become more diversified.  As far as the housing bubble, I'd suggest the long-term suppression of interest rates as the primary contributor to the inflated asset prices, being the bubble has been blown up nationwide.   Chinese purchases would be a partial driver more so in larger markets like Vancouver and Toronto.

Oil Tumbles Nearly 5 Percent To New Lows; Analysts Warn Of $20s


Source: Reuters

A brutal new year selloff in oil markets deepened on Monday, with prices plunging as much as 5 percent to new 12-year lows as further ructions in the Chinese stock market threatened to knock crude into the $20s.

On Monday, China's blue-chip stocks fell by another 5 percent and overnight interest rates for the yuan outside of China soared to nearly 40 percent, their highest since the launch of the offshore market.

Morgan Stanley warned that a further devaluation of the yuan could send oil prices spiraling lower still, extending the year's nearly 15 percent slide.

While China's ructions are spooking traders over the outlook for demand from the world's No. 2 consumer, drillers in the United States say they are focused are keeping their wells running as long as possible, despite the slump, executives told a Goldman Sachs conference last week.

Be careful what you wish for.  Their self sufficiency is the biggest protection we have against them, the Muslims are already pissed now and some of them are cashed up, imagine the fallout if the major middle eastern oil producing countries went bankrupt.

Oil is down, but prices for food, airfare, merchandise that all went up due to high prices  are not coming down and are still going up.  Oil the best excuse to raise prices but never lower.
