How times have changed. I'm no longer worried about $250 oil or shortages because I doubt we'll ever see it. By 2011 the global economy will look like it's been chewed up and spat out. Demand for crude will have fallen off a cliff and oil will remain under $50 for a long time to come. The credit collapse is a more pressing issue for me now, it's real, it's affecting me and others around me already, and it's only just started.

The recent run up in the price of crude has been supported by the current rally on the Dow, which is bizarre given all of the horrendous economic data that is being released on a daily basis now.
