Diamond,

Forget about the flames you got in the past. Because it was in writing it sounds more offensive. If the same was said to you in a bar you would have said "no f***ing way bud - this is how I see it" etc etc.

Conditional thinking has its risks. There is a risk of global recession and it should not be underestimated. When someone like Malaysia's Mahatir closes his doors and turns his back on the capitalist free market partners next door in Singapore you have to wonder what's going to happen next.

Look back to the last recession. Do you know what world oil supply was then and what was the price. Whatever answer you find or whatever assumptions you make, you will find that there is a floor on oil price.

In 1996 world oil supply was 71mmbpd Brent was $20 - 25. In 1998 world oil supply to Aug was 75mmbpd and price for the year has been $14. The price will rise when output gets back towards 71 mmbpd.

All just my opinion, remember that bad advice is usually free.

Paul.
