Amazing isn't it..

Oil rises above $113 on Saudi, Bahrain tensions..

Oil was up over $2 on Thursday as tensions in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain fuelled fears of further supply disruption while investors weighed the impact on energy demand from quake-hit Japan.

My point was that whilst many suffer, there are others who will be laughing all the way to the bank because of the rise in oil prices..
