Do you realise how stupid you sound by your pathetic comments against anyone who disagrees with you?

Then prices doubled again between 2006 and 2008, this time due to speculation, when US trading was allowed to take place through the US-owned ICE Futures exchange in London rather than the NYMEX, thereby escaping US regulatory requirements.
Quoting the EIA now, before you dismissed them as 'loonies', remember that?

Recent speculation regulations have been put in place, would that explain the recent decline in oil price ? probably, and that reinforce the idea that current oil price is determined primarily by speculators. China and India got plenty of oil. No shortage on that end.
Yep, use of Wikipedia is about your limit!

Peak Oil ? reality or fiction ? difficult to say, the higher price should increase oil supply very soon (2 years), matched by a declining demand, we all know what that means.

hahaha !!! quoting wiki, not the EIA, but I guess you missed that part also

keep jumping troll, and buy new glasses

ok enough wiki for now, not the best source, but a good summary of things to read. Of course recent events are always controversially documented in wiki, but at least they are all there and easy to deconstruct or support. For more technical topics, wiki is still a very nice source and less controversial.

one last one, based on facts:
Chronology of world oil market events (1970-2005) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chavez Goes Weapons Shopping in Russia Amid Arms Race (Update2)


By Matthew Walter




July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez heads to Moscow today to shop for air defense systems, submarines and other weaponry as Latin America's arms race quickens amid signs that his regional influence is waning.

Past Venezuelan arms purchases from Russia have strengthened ties with Moscow as its rivalry with the U.S. intensifies over President George W. Bush's plans for an Eastern Europe missile defense system and other issues. Chavez, 53, also plans to visit Belarus, a Russian ally that the U.S. considers a dictatorship.

Chavez ``regularly refers to us as an `empire,' opposes our initiatives in the Americas and seeks out our adversaries as friends and allies,'' Assistant U.S. Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs Thomas Shannon said July 17 in testimony to a congressional committee.

Chavez will order $2 billion worth of weapons, including Project 636 diesel subs, Mi-28 combat helicopters and airplanes made by Ilyushin Co., the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported May 12, without saying how it obtained the information. The Russian Interfax news service, citing an unnamed defense ministry official, said today Chavez may order $1 billion of weapons, including three Varshavyanka subs and up to 20 Tor-M1 air-defense systems.

Now, if the latin lot start muscling in on the agression, watch the oil price go!

PS: Nice reedit, you completely removed your pointless reference after making a fool of yourself, once more
You do realise that the IEA and the EIA are two completely different orgainisations, don't you?

FYI, The IEA is a 27 member country group of analysts, wheeas the EIA is a branch of the US Government.

^ blame yourself, I was copying/pasting the reference IEA directly from your quote, that you completely deleted after you realized your mistake

anyway, doesn't take away the validity of the argument, focusing on pointless details again, that's all you have left

^By the way, my question still stands on my reference soiurce, The EIA, do you still think that they are loonies, as you previously stated?

Mind you, given you confusion between them and the IEA, it is unlikely that they will be quaking in their boots at your assessment!

^No trolling; just a complete expose of your lack of knowledge and intellect, together with a demonstration that you attempt to make up for those traits by bullying and rudeness.

It is interesting to note how many other posters have PM'd me, encouraging me to complete this rout and show you up for the person you are.

^And you're competing for the 'how wrong can some be on a thread' award:

B/F: Oil demand from China is 'imaginary' - wrong
B/F: Oil production has kept on increasing in line with demand - wrong
B/F: Tries to calculate a percentage - wrong
B/F: The EIA are 'loonies' - wrong
B/F: The IEA are the same as the EIA - wrong

Does anyone see a pattern here?

(Is that 'wrong' again?)

Thanks for your interest, I will be leaving for a meeting shortly, but the mia noi will be at the usual time of 5.30. I'll let her know you asked after her.

I'm not saying oil and other commodities will fall through the floor, or that in the future it might not go still higher based on real supplier/customer hedging activity. I'm only saying that isn't extant now and it's gonna get undone.

That's what I'm talking about:

People tend to get all wrapped up in their intellectual arguments and want to show their education wasn't wasted. I find, however, that where governments and markets intersect it's best to think like a criminal and follow the money.
