The oil market...it is a market.... If around $177 billion is price discovery normalcy....oil could be viewed as just another big cap stock.... Trillions in $ liquidity.....is looking at recent negative stock performance all over the world.....inflation and its effects on bonds....negative real estate as well.... Versus the recent postive record in commodities across the board....money seeks performance..... ...................................................... For example what happens to any thin float hot stock ? ..................................................... Thus oil price regulation with regards to how oil is bought and sold....can be an effective solution.... For example....the thin hot stock price would drop like a stone....if the price were $5000 per share and no margin was allowed...... What is so complicated about this ?
