>>That is absolutely correct. The world will never run out of oil. At some price it will be simply uneconomic. Markets are a great thing.<<

Bob -

OK, I'll grant you that one. Oil will just become unaffordable, and people will stop using it.

Now perhaps you could answer a question for me. First, some background questions.

Is there any such thing as a market bubble? Do prices ever get to the point where they reflect investor greed more than they reflect real-world conditions?

Now the real question. If you agree that market bubbles do occur, would you concede that it's possible that we're seeing one in oil right now?
