Here we are again talking $100 oil even though the world is oversupplied and bathing in it....just more media hype to send it higher..... I really hope it goes to $100 and $150 and breaks historical highs because it's going collapse just like it did last time... This time though let's hope everyone gets in on top and rides it straight down!!!!
Get ready for $100 a barrel oil and the conflict it represents

It's time to prepare for $100 oil. A price of $150, taking out the 2008 high, may also be a real possibility if events in the Middle East continue to escalate, as we have witnessed in recent days.
While I believe that oil, given the vast supplies available around the world, has an economic value of about $20 per barrel, it's becoming increasingly impossible to ignore a world that seems to want higher prices for crude.
Through a production agreement, OPEC and Russia have successfully offset the glut of crude oil being pumped every single day in the United States. Rising demand for oil in a synchronized global economic recovery has also helped bring supply and demand in better balance over the last year-and-a-half.
