One should be very suspect of this $105 dollar call on oil. I would not be surprised if they closed all their long positions today and went long on the Stock Market. It makes sense, tout oil; make the SPX drop, accumulate the SPX on the way down, sell oil at the top, sell the SPX on the pop. Lather, rinse, repeat. I do not, however, think oil will drop that much. I'm calling attention to a standard brokerage practice.

You're right, and not only because they may be using this 'news' to sell out to the suckers, but because these over-the-top predictions are also just usually good indicators of a trend change (i.e. Nasqaq 40,000)
