5 Steps To Managing Money In Current Markets

Posted: 01 Mar 2011 03:01 AM PST

On Tuesday oil climbed 9% on fear of geopolitical issues in Libya disrupting supply. Since, it has hit $100 per barrel as fear levels rise. The rational person is willing to wait and see what happens. Does oil stay at these levels, recede when 'normal' returns, or does it move even higher? The irrational or fearful person will react, maybe run out and buy a smart car to cut their consumption costs. Either way, the uncertainty being created by the rise in oil prices isn't good for … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
