Lower prices expected, but Ada & Lowell remain high

Comment on my June 11 posting: Prices made it to $2.69 last week, and then lower this week, so my prediction was CORRECT. Tuesday, June 23, 2009, 4:30PM: The stock market/energy market correlation continues. Stocks topped out recently on June 12, a day after the price of a barrel of oil did, while NYMEX waited [...]

Expect prices to fall to at least $2.69.

I’ll be stepping out for a short time…

After a few busy weeks with a lot of things going on in the background here at TheGasGame, I’ve decided I need to temporarily dedicate more time to those things.
