"To put it another way, stock prices are now trading where they were in 1997. What's to say oil shouldn't be trading where it was in 2002." You know, I hate this argument. You would think a commodity would trade a little differently then a stock does. And 2002? Times have changed pretty significantly for the commodity since then, including supporting a pretty big up tick in population growth and economic growth. The more and more I think about, why can't we all just fix prices right across the board for commodities and currencies, and have economies function and trade off of these "guaranteed" prices. It would make life far more simple. :)
