Oil - all the facts you need to know

Exactly two weeks ago I had promised to come up with an extensive piece on oil and its implications for business, people and the markets. Well, honours and a wreath for being faster go to Barry Ritholtz who has compiled a fantastic series on numerous facts about oil. Visit his blog bigpicture or go directly to his series about oil here. I hope to be able to come up in the near future - I know I promised that before;-) - with an article focusing on the global political implications the fight for the most sought-after commodity has.
