Remember when just a 2-3 years ago how crude was going to skyrocket because of the lack of investment.  Yet, here we are in the opposite situation, swimming chin deep in it.  OPEC has to be shifting uncomfortably in their chairs....as well as big oil.  All of OPECs cuts hasn't amounted to anything.  Now what do they do?  My goodness we are heading into $40!

The problem is not too much supply, the problem is demand is pathetic. It is looking like economic growth is currently around 1%. If we were above 3% the picture would be much different. There is absolutely no reason why we should be growing so slowly. Everyone is getting short crude. if something happens in the middle east, this thing is going to fly upwards twice as fast.

You wouldn't know demand was pathetic if you drive anywhere.  Traffic seems as miserable as it always does.
