Gina, back in 197x I visited the then treasurer of Mobil in his home and was told flat out that within a year oil would be selling at $100/bbl and that all company planning for the coming year was predicated on that number.

Big not always = smart.

Right now we have another odd paradigm shaping up which I suspect will, in time backfire. It seems the new administration is going to do a lot to stimulate domestic production and we investors in same are rooting for this. Looking at:

oilsurvey.com

suggests that we are really about to hurry up and use up what little non-OPEC oil and gas there might be now, which will leave us in an interesting predicament years hence when it is time to fight WWIII, etc.. Might be a lot smarter to keep buying up their oil now and save ours for the crunch times, which is about what we have been doing up to now.
