Trouble with Iran

   While some hope that the stand-off with Iran will ended by diplomats, there is no telling what will happen with a regime that has no incentive to negotiate. As the suffering of the people of Iran grows, the ruling body will have even greater incentive to go out as martyrs instead of tyrants.They could resort to interference with oil shipping, and interference with production in Saudi Arabia. Whatever the outcome inside Iran and on the waters around Iran, this unstable situation only means higher prices. How much will you pay to heat your home with propane when the price spikes? As we said last week, Iran won't cut off the oil supply with guns but with paper as the price of oil spikes to cover insurance costs. Because oil shipments are insured by the voyage, not by the tanker, a little sabre-rattling by the Iranian military will be all that the insurers require to push their premiums through the roof, perhaps as high as half the value of each shipment. Speculator who know the market have their sights at $250 per barrel of crude oil. For you, the propane consumer, that means you may soon pay $6.00 per gallon to heat your home. What can you do?
