The drumbeat is becoming more mainstream

Even though you say "mainstream," the prices of these stocks don't reflect triple-digit oil. Just about every pricing scenario I see involves oil being about $40/barrel.
Chevron, and now Exxon, are coming on board in saying that high prices are here to stay. I haven't seen any movement on the part of other oil majors to suggest the same.

When I say mainstream, I'm referring to the media outlets carrying stories regarding peak oil and the ramifications of such. The more the story gets published by 'mainstream' media, the more traction the idea will get. Similar to Global Warming; back in the 90's people looked at you like you were crazy until they started reading more and more about it in the main media channels.

So far, the IEA has publicly stated that the demand supply balance will remain very tight through 2012 assuming that Saudi Aramco can deliver on its promises. And the EIA of the DOE is now forecasting average refinery cost for crude in 2008 above $68.

Personally, I expect that oil will trade at or above $100 by xmas '08 though it probably won't stay in the triple digit price range until 2009-2010 time frame.

Given that Morningstar and various banks are still predicting that the price will be in the low $50's by this time next year, I think the current price of the oils are a bargain.

Ah, you've touched a nerve.

Most of the time when something becomes celebrated in mainstream media, it has been completely overexaggerated and overdone. I think we are far away from that point with oil, for the time being. Right now the concerns are very superficial, so I don't think we are near the end of the oil run up.

Global warming on the other hand... I'm still not sold on it. I catch heat from everyone about my stance (and maybe a new thread should be opened for this), but I think global warming typifies what you see with politicalization of issues, and how the media picks up on that and runs with it.

I agree that oil will go up before it goes down in the long-term...not enough is currently invested in alternative vehicles to make a difference in the short-term, so they have to go up before down...

Tain't no biggie... yer TOL didn't reflect $250000 houses selling for $500000 either back in early 2006. I'm sure Earl will make the proper adjusto....just as home prices are now catchin up to the homebuilding stocks. Wink We just have to figure out when Gugs is gonna come along and say buy Warren Bafoon's COP like he did wit LEND n TOA. When Gug's sees "good value" in COP it will only need to git cut in half 2 more times! Laughing

Yep, just like I have been extremely bullish on the "mawkets" ever since you have been crying wolf over the past year and change! You were definitely right on the lenders and HB's, I'll give ya that my friend!!!

That being said, you have been way-off on this Bull Market (that I feel alone in calling, at least on this message board), and it will continue on for another couple years. Check the "chawts", stocks aren't coming back to 2003 levels before 2010....

How ya like that GOOG! You said it would sub $300 before it reached $550....

Well, the EIA just released their 2008 forecasts at

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/contents.html

By downloading thye spreadsheet for Crude Oil Prices from this page, a quick calculation shows that the EIA is now projecting WTI to average $73.50/barrel for 2008 and for refinery cost to average $70/barrel. This is an increase of $2/barrel in average refinery cost from their July forecast.

The EIA has another page that shows the data in yearly format

http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/cfapps/STEO_Query/steotables.cfm?periodType=Annual&startYear=2004&startMonth=1&endYear=2008&endMonth=12&tableNumber=8

And direct from the group known for the loudest Anti-Peak Oil rhetoric comes this piece which suggests that the oil is there, we just won't have sufficient numbers of qualified people to pull it out of the ground

There's no arguing with the Oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens. Oil is going to $100 for sure.

I suspect that we will see a correction in oil based on changes in demand prospects but it probably won't drop below ~$78/barrel. In the meantime, the current higher prices are pushing inflationary pressures as this article indicates

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/story.aspx?guid=%7BBB5FACF8%2DDF6E%2D4E7F%2DA19F%2DE9F952002268%7D

What the article fails to mention is the effect that higher oil prices has on the trade deficit which in turn effects value of the dollar relative to other currencies.

This is a lose-lose scenario for a Fed that wants to support economic expansion and fight inflation at the same time. Raising interest rates supports the dollar and fights inflation but risks recession, conversely, lowering interest rates will hike inflationary pressures and weaken the dollar while stimulating the economy.

The Fed will be sitting around trying to choose the lesser of evils.

Wow!!! The chief economist for the IEA has given an interview to FT in which he predicts a supply shortfall of 13.5 million barrels per day within 7 years.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/3c8940ca-8d46-11dc-a398-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1

See the answer to the second question.

This is probably the most dire specific prediction I've seen to date.
