I LOVE that the price can be talked down so EASILY by OPEC members. It shows them that prices will drop like a rock if they really do ease cuts, making it less likely that they really will. Meanwhile crude stocks keep dropping slowly but surely, and the domestic EnP's keep on raking in the cash. Suspect the futures selloff is speculators taking profits because they don't believe the numbers being reported. I know I don't believe them for a second. I would have cashed in on today's euphoria (and probably would have done a little shorting on any weakness). The only reason I didn't sell stock is because I feel my holdings are way undervalued.

TBI - Low volume works both ways... Two large blocks went thru around 14 1/2 and it just sat there for a while. I've watched as the MM's have kept moving it up 1/8 to 1/4 of a point from 14 1/2 to 15 1/4 now on 7,000 shares. I don't think many of the TBI shareholders know that TBI's debt was upgraded today. We should get another follow through rally tomorrow. When I saw the large blocks go through I doubled my position. Could hit 17+ near term. It's due to breakout. It's been basing in the 11-16 area for 6+ months. askresearch.com

Kuwait Wants Oil Prices to Stay Above $25 This Year By Sean Evers Kuwait, Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Kuwait, OPEC's strongest advocate for extending self-imposed oil output cuts after they expire next month, wants prices to remain above $25 a barrel for the remainder of the year, the country's oil minister said. ... Kuwait's Sheikh Saud Nasser al Sabah said he would like the ``average price in 2000 at the same level' as current prices, even though the U.S., the world's largest oil consumer, considers it too high. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, whose revenue soared about 40 percent to $160 billion last year, appears to have raised its target price for crude oil after achieving its earlier objective of an $18-$20 range for a barrel of Brent crude. Gulf Arab oil ministers will meet in Saudi Arabia on Feb. 23 to discuss output policy ahead of OPEC's summit next month. OPEC must be careful not to become too greedy and repeat the mistake it made two years ago, analysts said. ``At current prices OPEC risks losing market share to non- OPEC producers with higher production costs,' said Mohammed Abduljabbar, a senior adviser with Washington-based Petroleum Finance Company. ``Inflation in consuming states could also drive down demand for oil in the medium-term,' he said. ... quote.bloomberg.com
