I am a beginner investor so if what I am about to say makes no sense correct me… In Curtis Faith’s novel, Way of the Turtle, he constantly refers to trading futures contracts, and mentions trading specific things like oil, cocoa, and grains. Is this the same thing as trading stocks? If not, will the system he outlines still work in the stock market?

One of the main reasons the price of gas at the pump is so high is because of futures trading on the commodities market. If enough people banded together with a few dollars a piece that they were willing to lose on the commodities market, they could have a real effect on the price of gas. Would such action be legal?

Can the President declare war on these perpetrators since they have crippled our economy?
If this is a fact. What does that make all those claiming for the last several years it is supply and demand, weather…?
Why does our government refuse to end the future and speculation, or at least provide the oversight and transparency that would put an immediate halt to this?
