It was known as the ?Tweet that sank Wall Street.?

One of the principal victims was

There have been two sources of oil information this year. The producers saw nothing but endless supply stretching over the horizon, and sold every rally with both hands.

Sometimes I hate being so right. I was almost alone in the desert last August, when I asserted that the dramatic sell off in share prices was nothing more than a stock market event (click here for ?The Volatility Peak is In?. The economy was fine, there were no geopolitical events of importance, and prices
