[MBZ] Best oil trader says oil prices may plunge some more
The best oil traders in the business say this rout is not over Financial Post Wednesday 11th February, 2015 The slump in oil prices may not be over, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The decline in the number of U.S. drilling rigs that's helped crude futures in New York rebound 14% from this year's low isn't enough to reduce an oversupply, the U.S. bank said in a note dated Feb. 10. Lower prices are needed for American output to slow sufficiently to rebalance global markets, it said. Goldman joins Citigroup Inc. and Vitol Group, the world's biggest independent oil trader, in signaling prices may resume a decline amid unrelenting production growth. West Texas Intermediate crude is still down by half from last year's peak as the U.S. pumps the most in three decades. While companies have idled rigs and cut spending, it will be some time before production is affected, according to the International Energy Agency. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Rising fuel prices
We have local farmer's market that is very much like a Costco or Sams Club. It's huge and sells everything in bulk. They have a produce section that has stuff I've never heard of before. Their meat is fantastic and easily 20% cheaper than Costco or Sams, and it fresher. They're owned by an Asian family and the products heavily favor Asian and Indian cultures, but we go there for the deals.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Rising fuel prices
I do a once-a-week Costco run for various stuff and to top off gas. Meats are very good and prices lower than the grocery store. Fruits are very good too. Wine prices lower than the wine or grocery store. Yesterday I was went by the TV section, I see this Sony receiver I bought a coupla weeks ago for $60 off. So I go over to the customer service counter and asked if I could get a $60 refund, did not have my receipt as no reason to. She says I have 14 days, when did I buy it? It was like 2 weeks ago. So she looks up my account on the computer, sees it was 15 days ago. Oh come on I say... so she says how about I give you a store credit for $60? Fine I say and she gives me a debit card. Took all of 2 minutes, so my payoff was like $1800/hr! I'll be back next week buying something, so no problem. Now a store credit will still give them some profit on my expenditure, so it does not really cost them $60, but still that is great customer service. I got the Executive membership too, which gives you 2% back, which is always more than it costs. When I signed up for it the CSR told me if I never got enough back, to come in and they would give me credit to make up the difference, so basically a free membership. I think that works with the AMEX card too but I don't do credit cards. --R On 2/12/15 1:29 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: They seem to be a decent company too.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Rising fuel prices
Ours is convenient for gas for both my and the wife's commute. As for other stuff, laundry detergent is probably one item, as is wine for the wife.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Opinions?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Where to dump the snow in Boston?
I'll add a simple tidbit to this discussion. When I was in school many decades ago, the prevailing scientific view was that the Earth was still coming out of the last ice age and would be for many more centuries. Now, these scientists had no money making, vested interest in what the warming state was. Personally, from the weather I've seen in my lifetime, I still agree with those scientists that the Earth is still coming out of the last ice age and will continue to warm. It could be worse and we could be going back into our next ice age cycle. Although, if Washington DC were covered with a glacier and the federal government couldn't wreak havoc on our lives, that might not be a bad thing. Sorry Andrew, you'd have to move to a warmer, more conservative part of the country or world. Like everyone else, this is just my opinion, no more valuable or less valuable than anyone else's.

Re: [MBZ] Best oil trader says oil prices may plunge some more
Shell oil just got ok to base their AK drilling/exploration rig gear in Seattle. That means three years of investment to find off shore oil in Chukchi sea and off ANWAR. The easy to cycle flows are being pulled back to mitigate in the short term, but long view is that oil goes back once Obama and his idiots are gone. The easy pickings are over, and the recent short term situation is not going to do much good for anybodies economy. Keystone will not die, the Saudis will once more be making good cash on their reserves, and Putin will have to hold his nose for a while until Europe is suckling at his teat.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Opinions?
Ideally I would prefer a W140, but my curiosity is piqued. What does he want for this?

You probably don't want one this old, but here is a VERY nice 126. This is my Indy's shop/lot. I can find out the price or even take a look at it if somebody is seriously interested. If it was a 420 or 560, I would have bought it already. It's a gorgeous car, but I think the 3.0 6 cylinder is overworked in this size car. http://www.autohousestuttgart.com/1990_MercedesBenz_300Class_Wichita_KS_251134132.veh Don Snook -Original Message- From: Dan Penoff [mailto:d...@penoff.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 9:08 AM To: Mercedes List Subject: Re: [MBZ] W210 Opinions? Definitely cool. Does anyone have particular opinions about the car I posted the link to? I think the seller is a bit optimistic about the price, as they're not selling for that kind of money around here, nor are the price guides showing it in that range, either.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Rising fuel prices
Oil is on the bounce, its up around $5 which is about 10%. As always the price of gas rises immediately where on the downward side it went down begrudgingly.
