basic, fundamental economics. meet the demand with an adequate supply and you can name your price. which they have been doing in the speculation market, which is part of the reason why we're in the fix we are now. stopping the speculation will see an equalization in the cost/price, not the wild fluctuations upward that we have seen recently...
