if the oil price is determined by supply - demand, deleveraging, fear for a slowdown, who knows. These clowns at GS call for 40$ and 3 months ago they called for 200$/barrel. We all know that when these clowns call for 40$ they are buying. That these practices are still allowed after all what happened beats me. Personally I think that natural gas is getting interesting right now since the US has vast reserves and they want to move away from foreign oil. I placed some bets on small players in hopes we will see takeovers taking place in the near future. They were giving the smaller players away for free in the last few weeks.

My point is that reality and the Gulf Producers spin could be worlds apart. > Cheap oil is bad, it means recession or worse depression :) Just thinking out loud here .... let's face it ... if my predictions go better than 50/50 I am a statistical aberrhation or a scientific freak! Oil at $140 was BAD ... and now oil at $70 is BAD? There is no good news in there anywhere ... no companies or industries that will increase earnings, in the next quarter or two, based on $70 oil? Re interest rates and economies ... below 4%, with 3% inflation, does a 50bp rate cut move mountains.... this is headline news? Re the US interest rates ... I am suggesting that with rates == inflation anyone and everyone will have loaded up to the hilt a long time ago and fresh cuts aren't going to stimulate anyone too much. By comparison, cheap oil doesn't get a headline anywhere? Specifically I am speculating that oil may well hover around about $70 for the next 3 months, maybe even 6 months. Now that's either a brave or foolish prediction. brian_z --- In [email protected], "Edward Pottasch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Cheap oil is bad, it means recession or worse depression :) The reasoning changes all the time. whatever fills the page.
