GEORGE -- love to have your thoughts - If I'm OPEC, why would I raise production 10% to achieve a 20% drop in price?
Every article talks about "pressure on OPEC"? what pressure? It seems to me, OPEC has the best hand, if they can play cards during Ramadan.
I think if I'm OPEC, and prices spike, I'd give Vnenzuela a temporary "humanitarian" boost in production, just so they can pay for some flood damage. Then I'd sit back and see what the markets did.
In fact, any production rise would be "temporary," now that OPEC has shown it can make a quota work.
Think I can get my theory on MSNBC?
