The WSJ weighs in on oil speculators

Here’s a July 8 piece from the Wall Street Journal on oil speculation, foreshadowing crackdowns by several governments.

Interestingly, the same piece quotes an oil-market analyst at PFC Energy who doubts the impact of managing speculator activity.

Without comment, I’ll just ask readers to check that company’s Web site to see what they do.

    I found many of the articles at the WSJ site and the PFC energy site to be interesting. However I did not find David Kirsch’s article on the large PFC site nor how they deal with speculators. I have learned that while I assumed everyone recognized the impact of speculators on the price of commodities, there are those that still feel prices are value based.
