    Yesterday i check the data and i see the stocks in Padd II are at historical levels.

    I also think that this http://transcanada.essentialtalk.com/media/4/ alsa can be an important reason.. the Keystone pipeline..

    thanks

    and have a nice day
     
  5. Lot of talk about specs and long-only commodity funds moving from WTI to Brent as a result of pending regulatory changes, position limits, etc...

    What are the domestic (US) implications if this spread blows out to $20? Better for consumers to have the specs run up Brent while WTI languishes, or is this an overly simplistic view?

  7. It would become feasible to build a trans-atlantic pipeline from the US, starting at Houston or New York City, to Europe, ending at either London or Rotterdam, and "bust" the spread. :D
