Prices will almost certainly drop before November.

Reminds me of the weather forecast:

"Today, expect partly cloudy skies, and tomorrow they will be mostly sunny."

There's a difference?

It's all self-fulfilling prophecy spurred on by Big Oil... Start the scare and biatching beforehand so when it does come to fruition, there's less finger-pointing...

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.

The way I heard it once was that partly cloudy meant a chance for more clouds than sun, while partly sunny was the reverse. I've taken to reading "mostly sunny" as "sunny" with little chance of clouds, and vice-versa with clouds. But that's just me remembering to recall my recollections.

Actually, OPEC doesn't control the price of oil any more - they just control the output. It's the commodity traders on Wall Street who control the price, hoping that they can buy a barrel of oil at $75 now and sell it at $80 later. (It's been that way since about 1983.)

... Did he say splunge?

Yes, yes.

What does splunge mean?

It means ... it's a great idea, but possibly not, and I'm not being indecisive.
