Crude trader signals

As you know crude prices continue to rocket, every day we have a new record in crude market, sometimes I wonder what will happen to humanity!

Being a crude trader seems to be very stressed and very demanding. Sometimes I see crude traders doing funny signals with their hands, of course it’s very difficult to understand what are saying. But I found a crude trader signal dictionary, through these pictures we can have an idea what they are talking about. Very interesting! Check this out!

The bulls are in control

The bulls are in control of the market and every excuss is used to inflate the crude prices, this time we have once more Iran, Nigeria and Iraq causing prices to spike due to Supply outages or potential threats to supply.
The US keeps bending down to Turkey over the Kurdish rebels and now we have Kurdish rebels warning they could launch suicide attacks against American interests to punish the U.S. for sharing intelligence with Turkey after Turkey bombed rebel bases in Iraq on Friday.How stupid can the US government be...VERY ...
In Nigeria, a Royal Dutch Shell PLC spokesman said attackers hit an oil facility belonging to Shell's joint venture in southern Nigeria and that some oil production has been shut down...what production was shut down???.
In Iran the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said his country will not bend to international pressure and give up its nuclear program..they keep repeating the same conversation why should this affect crude...Iran at the moment has 10 supertankers loaded with crude and no one to sell to...If the prices keep going up they will have less revenue from crude...

The dollar weakened against the euro on Monday, attracting investors to oil and other commodities viewed as hedges against inflation. Also, a falling dollar makes oil less expensive to investors overseas.

SocialSpark is Live!

There is now a great new application and has now become officially live SocialSpark
SocialSpark is the first ever social media marketing network anywhere.
It provides more ways for bloggers to make cash from their blogging, a vast array of deep analytics tools for bloggers and advertisers alike and a number of key firsts that I’m very proud of. With Buzz TRacking for example, you can track brand name usage across the blogosphere, and ultimately perception of a brand, over time.
With our demographics offering Bloggers at last have a great set of analytics tools that will show them not only views and unique traffic on a blog, but also the demographic make up of that traffic (male/female, age range etc) - beat that Google Analytics.
The social aspects of the site are great for drawing attention to blogs you may not have come across before, but also serve as a powerful tool for advertisers to hand pick groups of bloggers they want to advertise with. From the blogging side, the social aspects also provide an invaluable feedback mechanism that the blogging community can use to let advertisers know what they need.
If you are looking to make money from your blog it is definitely worth a shot!

Iran Doubles Oil Stored in Tankers

Iran, OPEC's second-largest oil producer, more than doubled the amount stored in tankers idling in the Persian Gulf, sending ship prices higher as demand for some of its crude fell, this is a direct cause of the crude prices, if the prices dont come to acceptable levels below $100 then the situation for producers and oil companies and in general all speculators will become worse..
The 10 tankers hold at least 20 million barrels of oil, equal to about 5 days of the country's output. Rates for tankers have more than tripled since April 8, based on data from the Baltic Exchange and ship-fuel prices.
While oil rose to a record $119.93 a barrel on April 28, Iran has a glut of its sulfur-rich crude as refineries that can process the fuel shut down for maintenance. The discount on Iranian Heavy crude compared with Oman and Dubai petroleum has more than doubled since the start of the year.
There's not much demand for heavier crudes such as those from Iran, It's the peak of the refinery maintenance season in Asia, and Iran also sells oil to Europe and the Mediterranean, where some refineries are having turnarounds, or seasonal shutdowns for repairs.

Get Involved...

SPECULATION and only SPECULATION can cause crude oil to keep reaching news records, if no action is taken humanity itself is in risk...there will be no turning back..today crude rose above $120 a barrel to a record in New York after a report showed that U.S. service industries expanded in April, signalling higher energy use.
Crude oil for June delivery climbed $3.65, or 3.1 percent, to settle at $119.97 a barrel at 2:42 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was the highest closing price since trading began in 1983. Futures surged to an all-time intraday high of $120.36 a barrel today.
The Institute for Supply Management's index of non- manufacturing businesses, which make up almost 90 percent of the economy, grew for the first time since December, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said today. The report came after an oil pumping station was attacked in Nigeria.
The ISM report probably gave us a little bit of a bounce psychologically, maybe the demand for oil is going to rebound.
