    'you seem to be merely quoting the conclusion of others'

    Presumably the only way he can avoid quoting other people's conclusions here is by personally counting all the barrels of oil?     Reply

    Good post CLH. Very true... I'm puzzled why people are long oil right now, probably bought in earlier and will lose a lot. They will lose more if they don't get out now, unless they want to hold on for many years to see if it ever comes up to the bubble level again. Everybody everywhere is reducing consumption. I believe, once we break $100, it's bottomless. $80 oil here we come. Reply

    oil have bought a lot of special interest in Washington, but now too bad for the politicians with special interest in oil, the situation is becoming a major headache, specially in the middle east and Russia adjacent regions, the public is getting upset as well, so now things are looking different, aiming at developing new technologies that will free us from oil or fossil fuel for good.

    Little you say I can agree with. The US is cutting back as is most of the developed world. However, the developing world will cut back much faster as subsidies are removed. How much gas can a man making $1 a day buy? The only countries not cutting back are the producers. How much oil can they eat?

    Oil has a long way down to go.     Reply

    "We don't have skyrocketing interest rates and double-digit inflation." - we do not have double digit inflation due to changes in the measurement thereof, using the old methodology, inflation would be double digit. Google Shadow Stats for more info.

    "According to Merrill Lynch, oil demand growth in the emerging markets has never contracted year-over-year in the modern era." - comments like these kill it for me. So you are writing about oil but do not even seem to have access to consumption stats, you seem to be merely quoting the conclusion of others. That won't go far in the shady sector of oil... and you get it wrong in saying that consumption increases have all been from the developing world. the big consumption jump of 2004 was led by China, but the US came to a rather close 2nd. But the main theme of the article, commodities are just pulling back and will resume, sounds reasonable to me, for oil that is. However that oil pullback could now last a bit longer than the 3-6 months I personally had expected, unless political events necessitate a strong rebound.     Reply

    Inflation: CPI vs The Market [view article]
    Yes ... on the surface short term commodity declines fly in the face of gov't data. Has anyone tracked price increases at Wal-mart over last 12 months. For example, last year I could buy a gallon of Milk for $1.60-$175. Today it cost $3+. Not sure we can believe anything gov't is saying. In fact, based on things I buy, inflation looks to be north of 25%!!! Reply

    "If anything, I'm expecting the Fed to cut, not raise, interest rates in 2009. That won't be bullish for the dollar."

    i would like to see some evidence to support this.     Reply

    It's a tough call. Commodities cannot run parallel with an increasing dollar. Michael Pento had a good piece on commodities today.

    Are Current Commodity Prices as High as Compared with Previous Years? [view article]
    Just to see how what I suggested might look, I pulled some data from inflation.com. They have a table of the average annual oil prices adjusted for inflation through 2007.
    The average of 30 years of inflation adjusted oil prices from 1978 through 2007 was $42.70/bbl. The 2008 average was $98.66, so our current price is >100% higher than the 30 year inflation adusted average. That's quite a little bit different from taking the highest high.     Reply

    Maybe population uses more oil than the planet can produce but the TRUE is the planet can't support a sharp increase in oil price, especially USA.
    That's why for every increase in oil price dollar go down keeping a more reliable price for the commodity and keeping oil cheaper. But that's not all, inflation increase is another story telling the planet can't support the price of oil, so if oil rise everything else rise making the oil price increase useless.
    People realized this and oil dropped, you guess, with a dollar rally :)

    Price of oil it's just a speculation, it has nothing to do with the real economy.

    Form OGEC, to constrain exports.

    That will contribute to our existing trade imbalance by reducing what we sell, and strain diplomatic relationships with other nations.
    (Poor countries may really need the export volume.)

    Maybe you need an embargo to get what you want. Park some warships on the coast and block in-coming food shipments.
    But, why stop there, why not just invade and take the oil ;-)

    Pardon my sarcasm, but interfering with what we export would not help.     Reply

    To ishortyou,
    Nice wish list. Wake up to how long and at what cost your dreams will require to be significant. Meanwhile, get used to paying lots for gas, or start conserving.     Reply

    oil.. can't live with it. or without it or so it seems. Well, US plight is making others a grip of cash and has been for a long time. Time for a solution :

    OPEC sells oil for $136.00 a barrel.
    OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel.
    Solution: Sell grain for $136.00 a bushel.
    Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil!
    Ought to go well with a nice thick grilled filet of camel ass!!!
    We in turn back off more on oil consumption.
    win/win
