With another drop of nearly $3 this morning, oil is now down 18.3% from its closing high on July 3rd. In order to hit the 20% threshold for a bear market, oil needs to break $116.23. While consumers will take any relief they can get, even if it breaks $116, oil would still be up 21.1% year to date and 61.3% over the last year.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
