Cheap oil’s life is likely to be short

If you’re a big investor in petroleum stocks, the past several months have likely been a period of increasing nervousness, with the price of oil moving down from a midsummer peak of around $77 to a recent price in the low 50s.

Of course, in the far more likely event that you’re mostly exposed to energy markets through the gas pump and the fuel-oil company, this period has been perfectly delightful.

In either case, it’s probably not a good idea to expect the trend to continue.
