Billy R asked:


I’ve heard that oil prices are higher than they would be in a natural supply/demand economy, and that part of this is due to speculation. What is speculation? How is it raising the price of oil? Also, if people or companies are using oil speculation to make money, why don’t more people do it?

Lets say theirs an oil contract on the NY Merc for 1000 barrels of oil @ $40. Lets say that oil is in say Africa and needs to go to the USA. Is shipping for the oil included in the $40 price? How does that work?
