Bored of Pisteon Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 LOL Nick, what will be the next great gimmick from Chrysler 100 free shares? How about a buy one get free deal? Their line-up of vehicles looks the same no matter what type of vehicle it is anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another high-jacked thread... Well, since we are now content on reporting gasoline prices, Ill let you all know that I filled up at 6:30am this morning (with credit card) for $2.99 in Dearborn Heights. Where's the Bottom? That is the Detroit Free Press headline this morning (10/10/08) .... you read it first in BON! Unfortunately, many of my fellow posters can not stay on point. Today's market is off to an unbelievable start... down over 1000 points in the first minutes. Interestingly, Ford is holding up despite the tremendous selling pressure. However, it's a long way to 4:00pm, buckle up and hold on tight! The 'shorts' are having there way with GM.. look for lower prices. Me... I'm running for the bunker, the bottom may be weeks away.

Extreme4x4 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Wow................ how do your gas prices go down so quickly??? When prices were rising so fast, we were far behind. Now, with prices going down so fast, we are far behind. LOL $3.97 was the highest here.................... and we are still at $3.39 as of this afternoon. Of course, here in small town, USA, they only change gas prices when they get deliveries. It just takes longer in a town of 14k people, with over 10 gas stations.

SVT_MAN Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) In my opinion selling "short" should be illegal. How exactly would you regulate that? People borrow money to buy stock all the time. Edited October 17, 2008 by SVT_MAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 where the f**k are you guys getting below $3? i paid 3.64 for regular today:( I'm not sure what prices were back on the 8th in my area, but now (on the 19th, at least) prices at my local stations were $3.09-$3.15 (the more expensive one is closer, but the cheaper one is only a few minutes away---close enough to where it's worth it to drive there to save the few cents/gallon). I've also driven by quite a few stations that are $2.95, $2.97, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) How exactly would you regulate that? People borrow money to buy stock all the time. Could Ed be referring to Naked Short Selling? Naked short selling, or naked shorting, is the practice of selling a stock short, without first borrowing the shares or ensuring that the shares can be borrowed as is done in a conventional short sale. When the seller does not obtain the shares within the required time frame, the result is known as a "fail to deliver". However, the transaction generally remains open until the shares are acquired by the seller or the seller's broker, allowing a trade to occur when the order is filled. There is belief the practise is widespread even though the SEC made it illegal. Edited October 20, 2008 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goinbroke2 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 WOOHOO!! It's down to $4.12 a us gallon here!! Oh wait....never mind... Our dollar is back to around 85 cents or whatever so if you change that it's probably closer to 4.50-4.75 and if you change it to our gallon it's actually $5.44 a gallon...[sigh] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My area (Maryland) usually isn't amongst the highest priced areas, but I have noticed that it's usually slow to adjust prices compared to elsewhere, either higher or lower, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop a lot more here in the coming days.

Right now, the average Canadian price is $1.079. So, 1.079 * 3.78 * 83.5 (the current price of our dollar in USD) = $3.41 per US Gallon.
