Cervantes

Hoy es el día más hermoso de nuestra vida, querido Sancho; los obstáculos más grandes, nuestras propias indecisiones; nuestro enemigo más fuerte, el miedo al poderoso y a nosotros mismos; la cosa más fácil, equivocarnos; la más destructiva, la mentira y el egoísmo; la peor derrota, el desaliento; los defectos más peligrosos, la soberbia y el rencor; las sensaciones más gratas, la buena conciencia, el esfuerzo para ser mejores sin ser perfectos, y sobretodo, la disposición para hacer el bien y combatir la injusticia dondequiera que esté.

Goldman Calling for US$100 Oil by 2011

When Goldman Sachs makes a prediction about the price of an asset, you can never be sure if it's a self-fulfilling prophecy or a psychological investment operation exercised by an elite trading team. Is Goldman calling for US$100 oil by 2011 because it's already long oil? Or is it just early on the trade in predicting that oil demand will recover faster than oil supply will grow and that the result will be higher prices this year and next?
Hmmn.

Goldman's oil analyst Jeffrey Currie is referring to what we termed last year, "The Long Aftershock." It refers to the 2007 oil price crash sowing the seeds for the next oil bull market. Currie says his analysis leads to the conclusion that, "By 2011, the [oil] market is back to capacity constraints...The financial crisis created a collapse in company returns which has significantly interrupted the investment phase."

You can't find oil that you're not looking for. And the oil price crash-along with the credit crisis-wiped out the exploration budgets of major oil companies. Obviously, in a free market this would be self-correcting. Higher oil prices would attract more investment and new exploration. All things being equal, more people would look for oil. More people would find it. More people would produce it. And supply would again match demand.

But life is not a textbook. And finding oil and producing large deposits of oil cheaply is not an academic exercise. The 'Peak Oil' theory is often deliberately mischaracterised by its opponents as concluding that the world is "running out of oil." But that's not the case.
