Many things are screwing with our oil prices. Such as, you can buy oil contracts with little to no money down, and "if you win" you take home big. And if you lose, at least to big, you can file bankruptcy to save your ass - and simply start back over. When people bid up these contracts, it makes the 'demand' appear higher - making all crude prices increase, when no real money/value has actually been added into the system.
