this guy has been saying that too. And matt simmons of course. I'd doubt if the Saudi's would come out and admit that though.

Quizzie that is some website thanks for posting it - it deserves a bit more than a passing mention

Does anyone here have any thoughts on BP?

 

Its starting to look very attractive from a dividend paying point of view.

 

The TNK dispute seems to have reached a OK ish conclusion.

 

I know it is a massive elephant and its business is unlikely to gallop. However some of its fundamentals are looking very good. And it looks a safe place to park cash?

Maybe it was a bubble after all.

Cuthbert, as you said last week on that Iranian tv show, oil (and other commodities) have tended to move in the opposite direction to the USD.

 

I think it is helpful to consider which of these trades has the stronger fundamentals and the answer to that, at least to my mind, is a no-brainer.

 

Anti-dollar commodities will win the day - although I have no idea how long it will take for the battle to be won.

Note sure about BP...

 

but...

 

Perhaps this is simplistic but the 200ma of gold/$wtic is about 8.5

 

In July it was 900/147=6.1

 

Now its, 725/68=10.7

 

SO oil is expensive relative to gold at the moment. So gold must fall and oil must rise to get back to the 200day average?? Or gold falls 20% to $578oz while oil stays here, or oil rises 25% to $85/bbl while gold stays here…

 

Feel free to correct my numbers or logic here.. back of beer mat!

Heard it has a great balance sheet also. I hope to eventually throw some wages into some dividend paying stocks while they remain low. Thinking of an oil company such as BP and also the Aussie mining companies Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.

 

I'm persuaded that the commodity bull will kick in again, though we may have to wait a year, with a resurgent Asia.

The dollar could go a bit lower, based on this EUR/USD chart, there is enough room to hit 72 in oil without testing lower band again, and complete the wave 1 (no, we are not yet in wave 3, too fast):

EDIT2:

 

My research =

 

*** Roll out of bed

 

*** Notice oil is cheaper than it was a few weeks ago

 

*** Buy oil

nope, i think all this upside move is a correction (looks like abcde type) we broke below the weekly downtrend, so we are back in the downtrend and now headed to test if we go to 50 or not. I guess confirmation on the weekly is very important for any strong upside

UK Facing Oil Supply Crisis Within 5-Years

Thursday, October 30, 2008

 

The biggest threat facing the U.K. is the declining levels of oil production which could begin to hit Britain within the coming 5 years, according to a report by an independent industry group.

 

The warning of an impending energy crisis has been made by the UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security, an alliance of eight British engineering, utlity and transport companies drawn from across the economy.

 

Worries over current falling demand levels of oil will quite simply pale in comparison to the looming collapse in the supply of oil. While producing countries are currently considering cutting current output levels to reverse the trend in the falling price of a barrel of oil; just a few short years ahead these very same producers will be finding themselves forced to cut production levels thanks to diminished reserves.

 

Jeremy Leggett, Chairman of Peak Oil Group and the Executive Chairman of the alternative energy company Solarcentury, said that there was still time for the Government to act to protect the country - in the face of such a dooming circumstances - by reducing the economy's dependence on the oil.

 

Mr. Leggett, said on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Today’ programme: “What we are arguing is that the oil industry and oil institutions have been irrationally exuberant about their ability to meet demand going forward, in much the same way that the financial institutions have been irrationally exuberant about their ability to manage complex financial instruments.

 

“When they fail to meet demand, many countries will experience this as an energy crisis. Some will experience it as an energy famine, as producers start to withhold exports,” he added.

 

However Mr. Legett did offer a glimmer of hope to those already prepared to start drilling in their own back gardens. “This crisis is being anticipated; let's do something about it, because we can.”

 

Legett’s rallying cry is for governments to recognise the coming changes, as there is still time for economies to be shaped around alternatives to oil.

 

Earlier this month Prime Minister Gordon Brown told MPs that Britain was trying to increase North Sea oil especially in marginal oil fields and those which have already been explored but are not yet exhausted.

 

At the same time Britain is committed to producing 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.

 

As a consequence of a potential supply crisis, prices will be set to soar to unprecedented levels, belittling the $147 a barrel high recorded on July 11 of this year.

 

More expensive oil will simultaneously push up the rate of inflation because of the combined rising cost of manufacturing and of delivering goods. The rising price of food is likely to bare the wheight of puiblic concern.

 

But, perhaps the U.K. should look upon the contents of the report as an opportunity and not a sentencing. “The current global financial and economic crisis provides a real opportunity for the British Government to lead the world in renewable investment whilst oil and other commodity prices remain suppressed in the short term by weaker demand,” said Will Whitehorn, joint Chairman of the industry group.
