34. Although I agree with the basic fundamentals of trading you discribed...
but when people can buy X amount of oil on paper & wait a day & sell it for profit then the price will get inflated as there is a "demand" for "paper oil". It would be much different if every transaction was actually buying the oil & selling it to someone who would be using it but that is not the case on every BUY & SELL order. So, traders do play a role in inflating the price...To say they don't is not being honest. The question is how much of a role are they playing in driving up the price. I honestly have no idea & I don't think many people do but it is a good question to be asked.
