I find it frustrating that an average person like me has to write in to curb injustices which can recklessly be perpetrated by corporations in their greedy quest for profit. Rules to curb excess speculations need to be passed.
In November of 2013, the CFTC voted 3 to 1 to pass a new set of rules that would limit speculation on 28 core markets, including crude oil, fuel oil, gasoline, and natural gas. I'm hoping that the CFTC’s rules will become official in the spring, making the prices for everyday needs like groceries and gasoline drop as a result.
