$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SteinarN', 'W')e have had some late joiners before, so I'm sure Peak Oiler will let you in if you put up a good guess and ask him politely

But I warn you, your numbers in the chart will be in gray colour

[Outcast_Searcher]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PeakOiler', '
')What do you think, guys?

[SteinarN]

And one other thing, if some major event had happened causing the price of oil to collapse or skyrocket between the ordinary deadline and any late guess it would be unfair. But as it is now not much, if anything, regarding the oil price have happened since the deadline.

[dolanbaker]

As we're still at the start of the year, it seems reasonable to allow late entries, just have them marked as such.
Another week or so will be too late IMHO.

[Subjectivist]

I would say you can join for a week after the regular deadline but your numbers and name are distinguished from the rest somehow. Its a friendly game with no stakes but bragging rights, but I don't think the grace period should be a whole month, it changes the feel of the game.

The deadline has passed.

[salinsky]

Okay, a one time deal,and never again.

We should have a hard deadline of the 15th of January. IMHO...

Thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and opinions. I will include KilonBerlin in the game and you will see the updated scorecard next week. His name will appear in gray font and italicized indicating the late entry.

This will be the only late entry allowed this year.

That's fair enough.
The games afoot!!

Below is the revised and updated scorecard.



I think politics will have more effect on the price this year than from other factors.

Give the guy a break, and he immediately knocks me down a notch. We've got a long way to go until the end of the year.

It's going to be an interesting year! Do you think Trump's opening up the Dakota Access and Keystone pipelines will make a difference? I'll bet it drives down the price of WTI because now all that nasty tar sands crap will get blended in.

Just a thought...

How much more tilbit will move through those pipelines then is already being shipped by rail and truck? Not much I'm thinking as the pipelines will cut shipping costs and improve safety but by themselves won't produce anymore oil at the wellhead or processing plant. Higher prices on the other hand in the future will increase production activity and that might change the product mix.

I sort of bet on low volatility, which explains my very narrow range between high and low. That is based on my belief that OPEC will be able to stick to their cuts. They don't have a good history of doing so, so we shall see.

[PeakOiler]

Prices have been pretty steady. Not much change in the standings:

[vtsnowedin]

Hey I slipped ahead of ObserverBrb based on our average guess. A little more saber rattling between the Donald and Iran and I'll be moving right up.
On second thought I'm fine just where we are.

[salinsky]

An update coming?
