Several years ago the author of this book came and spent some time on the trading floor of the exchange. At the time she was working on a project (which obviously turned out to be for this book), and she was very inquisitive as to how the trading process worked, etc. She would spend her days on the trading floor picking the brains of various traders and exchange representatives.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to this lady and I must say that she was a very well read and educated person about the oil industry as a whole. I was impressed by her vast knowledge about the oil industry. I remember during a conversation once, her talking about Iraq and how the oil business over there was never going to benefit the Iraqi people and only served to finance and support Saddam's own power and dictatorship. A very insightful lady.

Thanks for sharing about her book Saladbar.
