Oil $77 / barrel & climbing….to what ?

Oil prices are at a new 11 – month high…but question is : to what levels can it rise?


The present rise is linked to :

  • North Sea production problems
  • Destabilization worries in the Persian Gulf
  • Speculators driving in cash

So high will it rise….


Now, take points 2 & 3….

We don’t see any let up in this scenario…


Iraq is more messed up + Iran will play more hardball + the Afghanistan linked pipeline project is in jeopardy + Venezuela is reaching an oil pact with China & other countries


No less important - Speculators like you & me are flocking like hordes, caught in a “buying frenzy”.


End result ?


We are speculating it’ll rise to $90 by year-end.


Still time to buy those oil stocks….just still about a little bit time left.
