It’s also an economics lesson for any of us who think about starting a price war with the industry cost leader, like the cable companies.
I keep hearing the Saudis need oil to be $100, but I don’t see why. They just pump the stuff, the other guys are drilling and fracking. They probably need it to be $100 to support their economy and lifestyle since they don’t produce anything but oil, but they are probably profitable at $10.

It's just a little geopolitical Christmas present. The old joke - what's the best price of oil for OPEC? $100, $100, $100, $50, $100. When the price drops to $50 it kills all of the speculative drilling and investment in alternative energy, and then OPEC raises the price back and ensures they stay relevant. The low oil price also punishes a variety of political enemies - Russia, ISIS, Iran, and a couple of South American countries. The low price won't last, but it's nice for a while and plays into a number of political battles. Mark On 12/24/14 10:58 AM, Bill Prince via Af wrote: Wonder what the play is there. How long will gas prices stay this low? And how low will they go? Saudi Arabia is in the drivers seat for now. Russia and a few of the OPEC nations are getting it in the shorts. Someone will blink. I'm betting that gas will turn around in 3-6 months. -- bp <part {dash} 15 {at} SkylineBroadbandService {dot} com> On 12/24/2014 7:11 AM, Chuck McCown via Af wrote: Yep: http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/refined-products/rbob-gasoline.html From: Chuck McCown Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 8:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: The Interview to be shown here...
