I knew it was going to catch up sooner or later, the price of oil and gas have been rising big time and the price of gas at the pump has been holding steady. I think Oil is really over priced and we should see a sharp drop soon.:blink:

$90 oil won't kill the bull

The economy is more resilient than during past oil-price spikes. And there are some great stock values.

(Money Magazine) -- As the price of crude oil broke $90 a barrel for the first time, investors worried that stocks were headed for a major downturn. But the odds are high that the bull market will survive.
First, though, let's face up to the bad news. The current oil price is high enough to threaten the economy. During the oil crisis of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the price of a barrel of crude peaked at between $75 and $80 in today's dollars. So we're well past that now.

ATLANTA (CNN) -- Gas prices rose a nickel during the past two weeks, to an average of $2.80 per gallon of self-serve regular, a national survey said Sunday.
That's 60 cents more than prices at this time last year, but 38 cents below the all-time peak of $3.18 set on May 18, said Trilby Lundberg, publisher of the "Lundberg Survey."
