Oil´s taste

The U.S. Joint Forces command has issued a Joint Operating Environment report:


"By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear, and as early as 2015, the shortfall in output could reach nearly 10 million barrels per day, While it is difficult to predict precisely what economic, political, and strategic effects such a shortfall might produce, it surely would reduce the prospects for growth in both the developing and developed worlds.
Such an economic slowdown would exacerbate other unresolved tensions, push fragile and failing states further down the path toward collapse, and perhaps have serious economic impact on both China and India."


Goldman Sachs controls over 43,000 miles of pipeline and more than 150 oil storage terminals. Morgan Stanley has the capacity to store and hold 20 million barrels. And these firms have the power to direct billions of dollars of their clients' money in oil.

Which way do you think they will push oil prices?

And also oil. It has quite a bad taste.
