according april begins challenge coming decline fall five future gas heading heavier industry instead market might months next poised prices projected recover recovery remains season stock telling weather
The market is poised to weather the coming challenge of a projected 25% decline in (commodity) prices. How much the market discounts into the future remains to be seen. I'm telling you in the next five months gas prices might fall as much as 25%, according to some seasoned industry observers...and then recover smartly. The stock market is fickle.

basically india season silly states tight united
It's basically silly season up there. In essence, as long as the United States is such a tremendously energy-intensive country, as long as China, India and the like are clawing their way up the consumption curve, we're going to have tight markets.
