If they are so certain of their uninformed opinion they should put their money where their mouth is and purchase some $70 contracts on oil futures for 3 months out. Say 5000 contracts or so.

In other words, it has everything to do with politics and NOTHING to do with S&D. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, the supply has to do with politics, and price gouging by OPEC.

The simplistic anti-capitalist types like to blame "big oil" for the price fluctuations when they have very little to do with it. The price is, for the most part, controlled by OPEC. The rest of the control is fear and speculation.

Depending who you ask, OPEC has probably lost control of the market.

Its NOT OIL that's the problem!!!! Its the REFINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then why does the price of crude keep going up if the demand (i.e. refinery capacity) isn't changing? Crude is unrefined oil, by the way, in case you were unaware.

Nah, just more massive SUVs for housewives with horrible sex lives.
 
Forbes is not the only one to make the prediction. The CEO of one of the largest resource companies has made a prediction of a fall of $20 a barrel. Linky
 
For every article you can find that agrees with what Forbes said in his editorial, there's two others that contradict it with also credible sources. Speculation is pointless.
 
Oil (gasoline) prices will stay high because we're showing that we're obviously willing to pay for it. How many of you have actually curbed your spending at the pump because of the high prices?
