The derivative markets are tricky, you should expect them to predict the near future price of commodities, but then they go berserk and start reflecting a reality unknown by us. I will say that a lot of money is being made out of paper, but I cannot fully understand how it works, even that I took advanced finance in my MBA... Welcome to the postings Poncho!

Funny enough I was doing some research on gas and oil prices and came upon this http://dhatz.blogspot.com/2006/06/oil-to-38657-per-barrel.html , a greek speculator wondering about the disparity between oil supply and the spot price of oil (wet barrels) and the futures contract on oil (paper barrels) and how the derivatives contract is more liquid and has more participants and is pushing the price up, while the suppliers are actually cutting down production because there is not enough demand. Just trying to add a piece to the puzzle. Saludos Long time reader, first time poster.
