While many people feel that the oil price may have peaked, I for one do not agree. There are a number of factors to consider :-

 

There are still major issues in the middle east

 

We are entering the winter period when oil use is at its highest (especially in America)

 

Since 9/11 we have seen a major increase in East / West tensions, and it seems to be getting worse. Not a recipe for a falling oil price.

Short term, the price may reach that level. But the innovations in fuel technologies worldwide will someday stabilize the oil market...at least I hope they do.

 

Even if these technologies don't have a positive affect on the price of oil soon, the impact they have does make a big difference in many ways. I own a restaraunt in rural Nebraska and we currently have an ethanol plant being built in our town. The construction project alone has had an immediate impact on not only my business, but for the entire area as well. These ethanol plants are being built or are in the planning stages throughout the Midwest in the United States.

 

This activiy shows that the investment in ethanol is one that is being taken seriously. Brazil is 100% oil independent. This may be a lofty goal for a country the size of the US, but can make an impact serious enough to lessen the need for crude oil. Additionally, smaller countries can use the developments and technologies derived from ethanol production in the US to make oil independece a reality for them.

I think we are clicking the No button in expectation only. There might be a real possiblity of Oil touching $100 but that may take some time. As now it is going down for several reasons, things will be clear after 5-6 months.

I agree with Nebraska on the ethanol intiatives US goverment is taking to reduce dependecy on oil. I don't think will top $100.00

 

There's a big (huge) debate among economist about Pres. Bush manipulating oil prices via strategic oil inventories. I totally disagree with that. I have no faith in poiliticians as I believe they reach to a point of which they become "sophisticated liars" But I think Pres Bush is serious about cutting or at least reducing our dependency of oil. Moreover they're been effective in reducing the inmediate demand on oil, as you see the crude has been coming down. Just look at the OPEC and their desperate measures on cutting off output. That's a clear indication of supply exceeding demand. You know what happens when supply exceeds demand rigth?

 

About winter, Natural gas is usually a derivate that skyrockets on the winter. But all natural gas inventories(underground storage), in all regions(east and west) exceeds 5- year highs as sept 2006.

We migth see a balance between supply/demand on natural gas.

Thanks to feb2868, we have got a new pointer. Yes we should start less depending on OPEC. We should try alternate sources. If President Bush's effort gets success the world will be a better place to live. More peace then.

OPEC will not be in controll of the market much longer, with General Motors and Ford, along with many other automakers using E-85(Ethanol) the world is going to be changing very shortly if OPEC doesnt quit price gouging and set some realistic prices. Ethanol however more expensive than gas, will be brought down in price once it is manufactured on the same skall as gas is now.

 

So OPEC basicly will get to choose thier fate here shotly

So we are nearing a checkmate situations. This was bound to happen. Now OPEC must understand that they have to set proper pricing. But I feel let us wait till Jan-07 and then we can be sure where the price of Oil is heading.

Well i dont think so Oil Going to $100 in future. At the moment oil price going dowen and dowen and some of OPEC nation reduse the production of oil to stable the price. But we have to wait next 1 or 2 months for effect of it.

The today's phenomenon: Oil prices go down almost $1.50 to $58.50, but oil related companies trade higher Exxon, Valero, Suncor...

Do stocks investors know better then commodities traders.

One of the two must happen, either stocks (oil companies) will go down tomorrow or oil prices go up.

Interesting, isn't it?

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
