Comments on: The United States Matters Less and Less to the Oil Market http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/the-united-states-matters-less-and-less-to-the-oil-market/2008/04/24/ An independent perspective on the Australian and global investment markets Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:43:55 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: jwcarpenter http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/the-united-states-matters-less-and-less-to-the-oil-market/2008/04/24/comment-page-1/#comment-20778 jwcarpenter Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:40:44 +0000 http://www.dailyreckoning.com.au/?p=2528#comment-20778 Interesting, and tinged with truth, or at least enough to make any American's skin crawl. Is it also tinged with schadenfreude? The human nature to take a Roman Holiday at the pain of those who must die, or must be greatly deminished: seems to be suggested. But! it is good the stage is being cleared to allow wiser powers to come to the fore. We can use new insight. But a word of friendly caution: My business takes me everywhere, and bad as it might seem to you, I will bet on the Americans as compared to Australia or the UK or EU, PRC. You see, the Americans have "potential" something that I rarely see elsewhere even in Australia. Be humble the road is rocky.

The US influence is getting less, but it still matter a lot. I wrote a recent post about this here - http://www.savingtoinvest.com/2008/04/decoupling-debunked.html Andy.
