Nice article. With oil already at $75.40 on the exchange, $100 seems achievable. Perhaps early next year?

Gosh, I wonder when the biofuels people will make their fortune? One would think they could make a go of it at these levels, if they ever could. But then, pie in the sky is slim rations indeed.

"Reiterating earlier comment oil prices would hit at least $100 a barrel, he said: 'It will be much more than $100 before the bull market is over'."

The problem is, people don't recall the great commodities bull market of 1973. Sugar went up limit, day after day, from about 3 cents per pound to 60 cents per pound.

True, it was a temporary price spike, and it came down rapidly. But then, sugar doesn't deplete. And one can do without sugar...

I fully expect an oil panic at some point. The consequences should be interesting. 8)

Amy diminishing resource will increase in value as its depleted (or percieved to be depleted). Its only a matter of time till it hits $100.00 then $150.00 then $200.00 a barrell. This is common sense. If you care to make a prediction, tell me whos gunna win the superbowl, not something thats is inevitable.

But Mr BP said it would be $40 down to evntually $25.
I mean he should know, what with all those stockholders - or am I missing something rather large?

You mean the Dark Lord John Browne, Baron of Madingley?

I find it hard to take a CEO seriously whose name sounds like that of a character from LOTR.

The US Current Account Deficit is presently consuming 80-90% of the savings of every man, woman and child on the planet. To maintain our fiat currency, the US $, it is necessary that we be able to continue borrowing to compensate for our deficit spending. That will theoretically not be possible much longer. When the necessary borrowing is no longer possible, the FED will reach cross over, the point when they will not be able to create enough money to service the $47 trillion in debt that is already in existence. The monetary/financial system will consequently then implode and the true significance of PO really will be felt. $200 oil is just not possible. We do not and will not have the money to buy it at those prices. At that point we will probably not even have money - just worthless pieces of paper.

What savings would that be? The personal savings rate in the US has been negative since 2005: Savings rate

Yes, I understand there was/is previous savings...but it does show that the ppl are no better than the gov't. And this great article on gov't debt explains why we have to change first (well, you Americans do, LOL):

FairMaiden, I am referring to the world wide saving rate, where the US is drawing the funds to continue our present spending spree, not the US its self. These funds, until very recently, have been coming mainly from the central banks of other countries. You are correct in that our saving rate was -1.4%, last time I looked.

Americans just can’t understand that we are unequivocally busted; they just can’t envision that America can and will go just as broke as Argentina did, and there wouldn't be any Uncle Sam to pick up the pieces!
