Another development of the situation in Egypt. A tremendous amount of the world's oil comes through the Suez Canal. The canal is open right now, but if this continues, speculators are going to drive the per barrel price of oil up, exponentially. We all know what high oil prices have done to the ecomony. I don't know about the rest of you, but it's already costing me a fortune just to go to work and return home each week. I hope that the people of Egypt succeed in getting Mr. Mubarak out of office soon, and that they are able to gain their freedom. They've been suppressed too long.
