So What's Going to Happen This Year?

Question

I know it's already April, but does anybody know what's going to happen for the rest of 2008?

Answer 1

Well, the price of gas and food will most likely continue to go up.  There is an American election coming up in November.  Hopefully, the Americans will elect the right person for the job, this time around.  With all the protest around the world regarding China and Tibet, there may be some controversial events that will occur at the Olympics this summer.  That's all I can see in my tarot cards for now.

Answer 2

I know gas is going to go up, Gasoline prices typically rise in the spring as stations switch over to pricier summer-grade fuel and demand picks up as more travelers take to the road.

But this year prices are rising even faster than normal, experts say, because of the massive jump in benchmark crude prices, which spiked to a record $117.76 a barrel Monday before settling a record settlement price of $117.48 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 79 cents from the previous close. It was the sixth day in a row prices set new records
