Greetings,
In July 2008, when crude oil prices were at $148 a barrel and “peak oil” bulls were forecasting a rise to $200, even $300 a barrel, contrarian technical analyst Robert Prechter took the opposite stance:
“One of the greatest commodity tops of all time is due very soon,” he wrote in his June 2008 Elliott Wave Theorist.
By December 2008, a barrel of oil cost just $32.
In recent months, the “peak oil” bulls are back to their same old forecasts from 2008:
T. Boone Pickens: Oil Could Hit $148 Per Barrel
– CNBC, April 3, 2012
Are such forecasts more valid now than they were then?
You can now read Prechter’s big-picture outlook on the oil markets in a newly released report.
