If you price out the normal growth rate of the price of oil (about 8% a year) the price per barrel should be around $70 right now. With the strengthening of the dollar in the near future and the pressure against speculation, watch for oil to fall dramatically at some point. The question in my mind now is what will be the repurcussions?? I know there are financial firms betting on the continued bull market in oil futures. When that collapses we will all feel it in one way or another.
