There was a great video piece on "60 Minutes" Sunday devoted to the price spike in oil over the past many months and the roles of the big banks in the price surge and how they skirted around the regulations or now lack thereof ala Enron.

Very informative and a model, IMO, for another tv piece that should be devoted to the shorting of gold and silver by the same gang using the same methods. I couldn't help but substitute the word "silver" or "gold" in my mind many times when oil was mentioned. Same kind of shenanigans, IMO.
