Praise for OIL"S ENDLESS BID

"Eye-opening for anyone who drives a car or uses a lightbulb. Dan Dicker draws on his years of experience at the heart of energy markets and uncovers why Americans are paying the price for huge funds to gamble in futures. By the end, he makes his case for some real-world solutions to a problem that is bound to spiral out of control once again. As compelling as it is entertaining."*Melissa Francis, Host of CNBC"s The Call

"Armed with the perspective of a market professional, Dan Dicker dives into the slick, murky world of oil trading and emerges with an illuminating cautionary tale." *Daniel Gross, columnist for Yahoo! Finance and Newsweek

An industry insider tells the biggest financial story of the new millennium*how we lost control of our oil markets

Leading energy industry analyst Dan Dicker recalls his twenty years as an oil trader and describes the huge changes that have taken place in the market over the past decade. He details the impact of the Commodities Futures Modernization Act on the oil market and how the financialization of oil transformed a sleepy niche market into a global Ponzi scheme. He explains how investment banks, energy hedge funds, managed future funds, and ETFs came to dominate energy trading and wreak havoc on the oil market and the world economy. And he exhorts government and corporate leaders to act to stabilize oil prices before it"s too late.
