Oil Reaches Lowest Since Mid-May
“It’s just the inflation whip going through the system here and as the dollar rebounds somehow we’re going to see the opposite affect on these commodities…$121 was the level to watch, unfortunately for consumers it has held as we sit here right now.

“The Smith and Dinallo interviews were both very important. The Dinallo interview explains to us why the financials are so strong. He’s got 13 other agreements in the pipeline. So you can just bet if they all act like Merrill Lynch , we’re going to go up. The news that Smith brought was that no one is looking at the Lone Star side. I can’t stress enough that Lone Star got the better of Merrill.”
--Jim Cramer, CNBC's Mad Money
