He Called the Peak in Oil, Now Bleier Sees $50 Crude in Early ‘09

Or so declared Scott Bleier, president of CreateCapital.com, on July 18. What sounded like an outrageous prediction then turned out to be too conservative as commodities, led by oil and gold, have crashed.

Today, Bleier predicts oil will fall to as low as $50 a barrel in early 2009, and, short of turning off the spigots entirely, he doesn’t think OPEC — which is meeting in Vienna this week — can do much about it.
