Don’t blame Wall Street speculators for that $4 a gallon gasoline. The way Cramer sees it the (what seems like) never-ending increase of prices at the pump is simply a matter of supply and demand.

Recent discoveries by other companies in Louisiana’s Haynesville shale sent those stocks higher, boding well for Petrohawk. And production in Arkansas’ Fayetteville shale should be much higher for the company this year than in 2007. The potential for such good business has Cramer thinking HK could climb as high as $48 from its present level of $35.
