There are always "experts" giving projected drops and timeframes, most of them pretty severe. Sooner or later someone was bound to be right about a big one.

Lol yeah.. There was this dutch stock "guru" who kept predicting a huge stock crash during the 90's. Of course that was when the stocks were skyrocketing. At the beginning of 2001 when things finally started going bad, the idiot actually claimed that he was "right all along". The Nasdaq had risen 10 fold, the Dow 4 fold and the dutch stock exchange was 6 times as high.

But it won't happen as there are too much interests at various people/companies/countries in the oil business.
Anyone ever thought of where we would get our plastics from if we've burnt all of it up ? And how about food ? Artificial fertilizars......if they become unavailable, the world will have some serious food problems.
We need to stop burning it ASAP.
What I am happy about is that this financial mess the US got themselves into, again makes the dollar go the right direction (for me that is :D).

Apparently unregulated oil speculators aren't helping the gas price situation. Dubbed the "Enron loophole."

I'm not happy. Just wait for the Americans to bring shoddy business practices over to the Netherlands.
I just can't believe we haven't revolted yet. This country has become so ridiculous it isn't funny.
