The cost of food and clothing is sky rocketing, in part due to the fact that speculators are still playing games in the marketplace. They wildly bid up the price for the everyday items that we shop for. On any given day about half of the oil futures contracts are bought and sold by traders, not companies that use oil, like airlines and power companies. And the sky's the limit when it comes to how much the market traders can control. Please stop speculators from interfering with the price of food and energy. It is getting harder and harder to stretch our meager dollar.
Thank you!
