In which case, how many high ranking political figures do we expect to be visiting Saudi or Yemen before the elections???

You read it wrong.......imagine the turmoil in the oil markets if the leader of the Saudi Royal family is killed.

$75 a barrel.....not $45.

BINGO!

Take out Prince Bandar or King Fahd and see what kind of market meltdown ensues. Now, at the same time, take out the Chicago board of trade or the NY Mercantile exchange......

Pretty ugly scenario I would say. I think that your figure of $75.00 is understated here.

Hmmmm. You express more knowledge about the oil business than I have, but my first impression is that NO individual has that sort of pull in life, or in death.
