If for one day...?

Question

you & other commuters, ect. everyone stops buying gas. What are some pros & cons of the effect it will have on the market?

Answer 1

it will help the environment! yay!

Answer 2

no effect at all. People will fill up their cars the day before or the day after, and nothing will change, except there will be longer lines at the gas stations for the days before and after, and more gas will be burned up by people waiting in those lines.

Answer 3

Pros: any monkey with half a brain would first short sell oil the day before and then by the end of the trading day the buy volume would be outrageous on the futures market and the price would go wildly down and then up. Don't you know supply and demand on the stock market?
