Thomas: Sure $6 is a possibility, but -

These guys would go under for SURE!

They are on the brink already. Who would pick up the tab for all their bad debt? Who will pick up the tab for Iran's bad debt (a lot of which is in the process of renegotiation right now)? Nigeria? Mexico? Indonesia? (again) Russia? (again) Norway? Great Britain? Many international oil Companies? More than a few Gulf states?

You are looking at a tremendous amount of bad paper there. Probably more bad paper than there is money to fix.

>>George, the one thing I didn't like about that Bloomberg story, is Oman's oil guru said oil could go to $6.00 dollars a barrel if OPEC didn't make meaningful cuts<<<

The one thing I don't like about Bloomberg news is that they post too much opinion and not enough fact. Don't ever make an investment decision based upon their story alone.
