Crude oil has dropped too far too fast. It's an invitation to "crisis theater."

[sharesunited]

The sharp drop in crude has generated a motivation to stage some sort of threat, crisis, attack etc. to try and re-inflate the price.

Can't say who, how, or where (or who will be blamed).

But as you watch it unfold, just keep in mind what's really going on.

Did I say a motivation? Make that an imperative.

When the Russian invasion of Georgia couldn't get it done--
When a natural disaster like a hurricane couldn't get it done--
It's time for some real shock and awe.

Desperate times require desperate measures.

to cover their losing bets in the financial sector.
