( And now just FYI- I am now following you!). lol My twitter is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/rita012" rel="nofollow">http://www.twitter.com/rita012</a> .<br><br>You were talking about Goldman Sachs. I'm very concerned about all the trading that's been happening on futures. Not only is it impacting the oil prices, but it is having a huge effect on grains prices, which is impacting the world food crisis. Poor people in places like Haiti are seeing their food prices go up 60 plus %!Rita WilhelmFri, 23 May 2008 10:46:55 -0000
