Interesting perspective Tabs, and make no mistake...lower oil/gas prices trump any QE, tax break, stimulus, etc. by a LONG shot. The cause imo...simple supply/demand and many of the low margin oil speculators have fled the sinking ship. Oil's now much closer to "normal" price levels, and now that they've gotten us used to being bent over the proverbial $100 oil barrel it sure feels good for a change. Whatever the cause....I LIKE it
