We've hit the big time!

Oil market's rally is a classic case of fear

Then there's the theory of peak oil -- the notion that any finite resources will have a beginning, middle and end of production, according to PeakOil.com.

"The theory of peak oil is no longer just theory," said Kevin Kerr, editor of Global Resources Trader, a newsletter of MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.

"As the market knows, key fields are disappearing," he said. He points to Mexico's Cantarell oil field as an example.

I wish we really were a front for a hedge fund, then we'd all be rolling in cash.

This morning on CNBC Morning Call I heard an analyst state that oil production is topping out and will be going down soon. I had to leave for work and couldn't post until now, but seems like PO is sinking into the markets picture of reality.

Some dire stuff in there.....

Likely nothing for now, analysts said. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries won't officially meet again until Sept. 11.

Kind of ironic.

Am I happy or not…


(Thanks Leanan, either way...)

Probably the ignorant journalist thought "huh? peak oil, wtf?" and wrote it at google and voila! got here where he copied the definition.

I guess the Wikipedia entry was too technical.

By the way...

He said he's not sure how high oil prices have to be in order for "demand destruction" to start, but it's "going to be higher than the $80 handle we're currently staring in the face."

First time I heard about "demand destruction" in the mainstream media. Earlier the meme has always been that higher prices will bring higher production, not lower demand.

Good point. I haven't seen "demand destruction" commonly used in the MSM either. I can remember when I first read the term here on this site and had to take a second to figure out what the person was refering to.

Congrats! It won't be long before the networks source their news directly from PO.COM with topics such as: "how to maximize protein intake out of your cat AND make a hat for winter" these usefull talking points will soon be syndicated to AP, Reuters, Bloomberg etc!

[Twilight]

I have heard "demand destruction" before actually, I think around 2003/4 when the NG price spike in the US forced the shutdown and relocation of fertilizer plants.

Though admittedly it was always in those business news items that never get linked on the front page.

[Concerned]

First time I heard about "demand destruction" in the mainstream media. Earlier the meme has always been that higher prices will bring higher production, not lower demand.

Im still waiting for the articles to start comparing how cheap oil is "inflation adjusted" compared to today. With no mention of "wages" and their inflation ajdustment.

Then I want to re-read the articles on how high gas prices are actually "good for the economy" I mean heck why not just tax gas higher it's such a economic gift.

Lastly Im waiting for the Matt Simmons line of a cup of gas being cheaper than a cup of coffee. Which is true but misses the point that if you have gas at three dollars a cup your coffee will likely be $200 per cup

Although I can understand the reluctance of many to actively participate in the discussions here... & some are undoubtedly here to get info etc... I wanted to say hi to all our many corporate visitors.

So a hale & hearty shout-out to all you cube denizens out there in the business community.

Glad to see you here.

What's Peak Inc.???

You tell me man... I just work here.

Nice to see the Romanians made it to peakoil.com, it's no longer me and 2 of my friends But you can take this one off the list... RCS is prolly the biggest Romanian ISP. I doubt they have special IP classes for their corporate offices, so i believe this means 74 unique visitors from their customers, not their employees. Which of course makes sense, 'coz most of their employees are underskilled undertrained morons that can barely answer a phone.

[auscanman]

Looks to me like Peak Inc. is a surveying and engineering firm. If this is the company Peak Inc.

[Ferretlover]

Have any of them registered, or, are they all just lurking?
