Crude oil prices have plunged two- thirds from its record high during the summer, and the likelihood they’ll fall further has caused panic among oil-producing nations and inspired the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to call another meeting this week to discuss possible production cuts.

After blitzing to a record-high $147 a barrel in July, oil last week receded below $50

Oil prices have fallen below $50 a barrel for the first time since May 2005 amid fears of a recession and expectations that demand will drop.

US light sweet crude fell to $49.62, while London-traded Brent crude fell to $48.90 a barrel.

The price of oil is around two-thirds cheaper than in July, when it hit a record above $147 a barrel.

Is it possible that oil prices are rigged? You bet. Here's how:

close windowHousing prices have declined in many parts of the USA. House values falling is a result of the bubble breaking due to the sub prime- mortgage problems in the United States and the unreasonable increases in apparent home values over the years. There are some areas of the U.S.A. that have not been subject to much or even any decline. This is not an accident and the reasons why can be traced. For example, in Texas home values never enjoyed the unreasonable increases that many other states enjoyed. This was because until recently homes in Texas could not have 2nd mortgages.
