Yes, I was not very clear, sorry about that, and I think I cannot be clear, I am thinking of the example I had in mind when I wrote that but cannot put it in words. Anyways, what I tried to say in short is that it does not matter that they are a cartel if you do not buy from them.
>>Oh, by the way... The US does not NEED to buy oil from the OPEC, so they should really stop complaining and calling them a Cartel.
