Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.
Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

No, Morgan Stanley is not advising clients that there will be a correction. The idea of correction is your idea not theirs.
Oil price forecast by Morgan Stanley...

I love these investment houses. They have an analyst backing every horse in the race so that whatever the result they can always state that they are on the winner.
I note that the original Yahoo article quoted the views of Any Xie who is Morgan Stanleys resident China expert in Hong Kong. I think his views on oil prices are based on his rather bearish oulook for the Chinese economy. Since he is not really an energy analyst I think his predictions need to be treated with a degree of caution.

Your hope is realized, I am not saying tar sands are insignificant. Tar sands will never supply our current use model.

I think a more reliable way is to look for Morgan Stanley official communications, especially its own investments. They will state specific recommendations. Analysts opinions are less trustworthy than actual Morgan Stanley investment advice and investment movements by the company.

source:
YahooAnyone got any opinions on this?
That's a fascinating article in terms of understanding economists.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Andy Xie, Greater China economist, Morgan Stanley', 'A')s evidence of weakening demand and ample supply accumulates, the market may panic, I believe it could correct in the most speculative fashion -- it could collapse.
They will likely keep prices up until an oil market collapse. That day is not too far away, I believe... What is occurring now is probably the final frenzy, in my view.
His opinion is that the price of oil is inflated by speculators and a price collapse is imminent.
Let's say he's right. Say the price of oil drops by 50% over the next 6 months. He's not saying that output increases by 20%, or that demand decreases by 30%, he is suggesting that a tiny fall in demand or a tiny increase in output could trigger a collapse in the price. In a nutshell, he is suggesting that the oil market has an element of gearing - that small fluctuations in the demand/supply balance are exaggerated by speculators. This is not such a daft suggestion.
So, let's suppose for a moment that he's right and the price drops 50% over 6 months. Output might increase by a few percent over that time, or consumption may decrease by a few percent, but that would neither prove nor disprove anything IMHO. It doesn't mean we have peaked, nor does it mean we have years before the peak. It doesn't prove peak-oil, nor does it disprove it. From a peak-oil perspective, it doesn't really mean anything. All it proves (if it happens, which I doubt) is that there is a large element of speculation in the price of oil, nothing more nothing less.
Even OPEC only tried to claim that $10 of the price of oil was due to speculation. (That was last quarter btw. This quarter they're blaming refining capacity. Next quarter maybe it'll be those pesky terrorists. Then maybe those damn Chinese..., or Humvee drivers, or global warming. Yup global warming, that's always a safe bet.)
