Bumping this thread because there were so many scoffers then. I wonder if they're scoffing now.
I know what you mean in late 2003, not that long ago, I had people say I was full of it when I repeatedly stated crude oil was heading for %50+ over 10 to 12 months when oil temporarily reversed a bit under $30. Commodity brokers we some of those which lacked real insight. The ones which solely 'invest' in stocks, couped with others which never traded anything, let alone oil or any other commodity contacts are the biggest scoffers and place blame on little guys in relation to the mega funds.
Crude at $70ish may even look cheap as we speak on this subject this time next year.
Instead of investigating the possibilities of equally benefiting from these highly volatile markets they blame those which issued warnings, for the current prices. Go figure. Scoffing schleppers.
