The powers that be just hiked oil trading margin requirements for the second time this month. Obviously trying to knock down crude prices -- juicing the stock market and Bush's election chances.
This greatly increases the odds of a strong stock bounce Monday IMHO. But look out below if oil keeps climbing despite this latest attempt to halt the surge.
