on mon 14 aug 2006 173523 -0500 geekboy nerdynerd@geekboits.com wrote the supply of oil is not limited. according to data it should be at $29 a barrel looking at historical prices to supply history. where are you at mars it is very limited and world demand will read it and weep august 13 2006 investing is a futures stampede keeping oil prices high by norm alster by now even a casual student of current affairs can reel off plenty of reasons for high oil prices soaring demand dwindling supplies conflict in the middle east and most recently the partial closing of an alaskan oil field. ben p. dell an analyst at sanford c. bernstein & company would place another factor at the top of the list the money that has been surging into the commodities futures markets. mr. dell published a report last month suggesting that a stampede of institutional investors mainly pension funds into commodities is actually the chief cause of the rise in oil prices which he called a bubble. the report has generated more reaction than any other oil research published by the firm in the last three years mr. dell said. and not all of it has been positive. some oil experts say that while the flood of money has had some effect on spot prices it is by no means as important as mr. dell maintains. i think the idea of speculation being the main driver of higher oil prices ignores the fact that in the real world there are a whole host of things to worry about said robert j. weiner professor of international business at george washington university. similarly jan stuart global oil economist at ubs said factors like geopolitics were more significant. further he said im not calling it a bubble. for his part mr. dell acknowledged that geopolitical concerns - particularly fear of a possible disruption in supplies by iran - were having an impact on prices. but he said that such issues did not entirely explain oil prices which in his view should be trending downward based on supply-and-demand fundamentals. despite some short-term fluctuations inventory levels in the united states for example are well above the upper end of the average range according to a recent energy department report. growth in global demand has cooled and new oil supplies have padded what had been a threadbare cushion of supply over demand. youre growing supply mr. dell said. youre growing inventories. and demand growth is slowing. but the price keeps going up. the reason for this anomaly he said may be found in financial markets specifically in the billions of dollars that investors mainly pension funds and other typically conservative institutions have poured into commodities in recent years. commodities futures that track indexes like the goldman sachs commodity index or dow jones aig commodity index have become fashionable for many investors. their reasoning is that this asset class though volatile affords portfolio protection because it has often performed well when stocks and bonds have been weak. close to $100 billion will be invested by pension funds and other institutions in futures contracts tied to the commodities indexes this year up from less than $20 billion three years ago according to goldman sachs. pension funds whose charters often prohibit short-selling have been exerting upward pressure on futures prices several analysts said. they want to be long. they want to stay long and dont bother me with it. said william h. brown iii president of whb energy research in chappaqua n.y. it definitely adds a positive bias to the market. this persistent upward pull on futures prices creates an arbitrage opportunity that drags the price of spot oil higher as well according to mr. dell. with futures prices higher than the spot price why not buy oil store it and then sell it forward in the futures market at a profit mr. dell and others argue that this is precisely whats happening. its a typical commodities play currently being employed in oil markets said sal gilbertie a trader at fimat usa in new york. similarly phillip verlander an independent energy economist said that on aug. 4 for example it was possible to buy heating oil in new york harbor at $2 a gallon and store it and sell a future to deliver it in december for $2.24 and that many traders were doing so. mr. dell said that current oil prices were a bubble comparable to the tech investment bubble of several years ago - and that the oil bubble was likely to burst before very long. others on wall street agreed that the flood of institutional dollars had had some effect but they disagreed about just how much. edward l. morse chief energy economist at lehman brothers said there is no doubt in my mind that theres an impact from a new class of investors into commodity markets especially pension funds and also speculative investors including hedge funds. that impact can at times be as much as $10 a barrel

hello all i have done a search on this and cant drill down to a solution for a ticking sound coming from front driver side wheel well. it happens when i turn left right and backup. i have heard it tick when the truck is sitting still.....very strange i have a 98 2x4 ram 1500 with a 3 inch fabtech suspension lift a-arm i have swapped tires brought the rear to the front and front to the rear and it still does it. i have attempted to recreate the problem by jacking up the front end turning the wheel and spinning the tire. cant get it to make the ticking sound. i have replaced the driver side wheel bearings and races.......also replaced the front end idler arm pitman arm...etc has anyone run into this type of issue and what was the problem i am thinking it could be load related does it under load.... suggestions shocks steering unit motor mounts tighten upper and lower arm bushing bolts ball joints thanks in advance ken .

i would be skeptical of anything over 13 my personal experience with dodge trucks gas burners anyways is fairly low mpg. if you want my honest opinion on the fuel mileage matter buy a cummins powered ram in the year models your looking at. you wont be sorry. im personally seeing 19 mpg on average around town. 18 if i run her hard. and have seen 21 on a trip where i kept it round 65 or less. my current truck is a 05 2500 6 speed. my wife had a durango with the 360 and only got 12 witch she was really disappointed with because the truck i had at the time was a 99 8.0 liter v10 and was getting 10 - 11 with my lead foot. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. snoman wrote 13-15 mpg if youre lucky. yes if mpg is a big concern for you you can not put a small engine is a big heavy cc and expect miracles in mpg area. i doubt it would do much better if at all than a like truck that was hemi powered. you need a smaller truck like a dakota if you want good performance and mpg from a 4.7. ----------------- thesnoman.com i like the dakotas but those rams are the best looking trucks in my opinion. i hear a lot of people saying different numbers when it comes to mpg on different message boards any where from 19-10. you dont know who to beleive but if it is possible to get 15 i would be happy with that. -- message posted via carkb.com http//www.carkb.com/uwe/forums.aspx/dodge-truck/200608/1 .
