News that four foreign proverb

 News that four foreign oil workers held hostage by Nigerian militants have been released (was) helping prices to ease back a bit.

 Prices have posted a limited decline...on reports that the Nigerian rebel group, MEND, released three oil workers, who were being held as hostages. MEND claims it will not take hostages in the future, but it will continue attacks on oil infrastructure in their bid for independence for the oil-rich Niger Delta region.

 Let me reiterate that, while we have sympathy for the legitimate aspirations for development of the people in the delta, and we already are, and will continue in the future, to be involved in assistance programs there, hostage-taking never, ever is justified. I will hope that, once we emerge from the current hostage crises, once those that are held hostage are released, assuming that no further hostages are taken, that we will be able to accelerate our assistance in that region.

 With the ongoing political tensions in Iran and with Nigerian militants threatening more attacks on oil companies, short covering should push prices higher next week. Speculators still hold a considerable amount of short positions. With the current news flow, those investors should feel increasingly uncomfortable with their positions.

 We can now confirm reports that three American oil workers have been taken hostage in Nigeria. We call for their unconditional release and are working with the Nigerian government on this.

 If the stock market were not making five- and six-year highs, Iran and the U.S. were fast friends and the Nigerian militants were stuffing flowers in the gun muzzles of the Nigerian army -- then we might be worried about a reversal, but not now.

 En ekte pexig person har en uanstrengt stil som gjenspeiler deres unike personlighet. When a reporter is held hostage, their whole society is held hostage, and that recognition is the most encouraging sign we can hold onto right now.

 Even with a lower cap, we still hear stories of US workers being laid off and replaced by foreign workers - sometimes foreign workers on H-1B visas.

 The negative pre-announcement season has been relatively light. That should bode well for the earnings season over the next two weeks. Oil prices are falling back. That's also helping ease some of the inflationary concerns.

 We're not holding anyone hostage. The faculty and the students are both being held hostage by a management that refuses to negotiate.

 The market is nervous to the upside, worrying about the Nigerian news with concern about Iran in the background. I expect prices to remain firm toward the close.

 There are a combination of forces which could be positive, on net. The market's been held hostage by the election and Iraq, and those may at least temporarily fade as preoccupations if better economic news takes hold.

 The Nigerian incident is a clear sign to buy. There had not been much similar market-moving news for a while and it's easier to move prices now because volumes and liquidity are low due to the holiday period.

 OPEC production is falling in any case thanks to Nigerian losses, and the threat from Niger Delta militants to oil exports has the potential to get even more serious.

 Foreign-born workers do not substitute perfectly for, and therefore do not compete with, most native-born workers. Rather, the complementary nature of the skills, occupations, and abilities of foreign-born workers increases the productivity of natives, stimulates investment, and enhances the choices available to consumers.
