It will peak -- and the bubble will pop -- as soon as I give up and go all in.

I'd lose my butt but I might become a national hero.

Seriously -- the drop in the dollar can't fully explain oil prices. People are always chasing a bubble somewhere, relying on the Greater Fool Theory and that they can get out with a profit before it blows up in their face.

Where will all these used Suburbans end up? No one will want to buy them. It's unlikely you'll be able to give them away once gas hits the stratosphere. Probably they will end up in the SUV graveyard where they will be mashed to smithereenes and sold for scrap. Woe is the SUV.
