Forbes on Fox just announced that Oil is going up...to 100 bucks

Quote from Rearden Metal:

I think we keep sloshing around in the current range until after the (early November) elections. Then comes the parabolic spike top.

What do you base this prediction on? What would trigger that spike, and do you expect any slowdown in the economy by year-end?

<i>What do you base this prediction on? What would trigger that spike,</i>

------> They'll find some excuse to 'trigger' it. The excuse never matters. My prediction is based upon the normal cycle of a major commodity bull market:
Long grinding uptrend---> Parabolic top-----> Back down to earth, where it stays for years afterward.

BTW, 'peak oil' is bullshit. TONS of R&D cash is now pouring into oil & gas exploration & discovery. Conservation too. (Ethanol is a non-factor. It's all a big scam, as it takes more than one barrel of oil to produce one barrel of ethanol.)
Today's tight supplies are a product of the low oil prices of the late '90's- which resulted in years of low exploration expenditures and the SUV fashion craze.

<i> and do you expect any slowdown in the economy by year-end?</i>
---> I'm not sure.

Absolutely agree. I've been an oil bear for a few months. A bit early I guess, but I believe its in the 50's within 6 months or less. Only a major Mid East fuck up, or another Katrina could change my view. The hedgies and paranoia have way over inflated this puppy. I'm selling rallies unless there is a good reason for em.
 
Do I recall correctly that Steve Forbes predicted, in the fall of 2005, that oil was going to $35- $50 within a year?

Well here we are now a year later and he's saying $100.

So much for accurate predictions and placing reliance upon a magazie publisher for economic guidance.
 
exactly, all commoditites behave[d] like this on strong trends, why on earth should it be different for oil; even us futs and equities often do the same, no reason not to expect a parabole before the correction begins imo.

ethanol is utter crap; need to look no further than how xthn [xnl] is run...no interest in develop shite whatsoever, no proof it really works as a cheap and viable alternative...bunch of baloonie.

wont stay below 70 for long imo; nymex pit guys think the same also...infact every dip is still met by huge buy orders. may go down to 67-68, 65 max. but that's it.
