Well at this rate it'll be 25 dollars a barrel at the end of October.

No you don't. If that were the case we would be in some serious economic trouble. Also, some 401k would suffer.

$25 a barrel will curtail a lot of new exploration and development. Which is what is behind the decline right now. As I understand it, $40 or so will still provide the incentive for companies to develop new fields, shale oil etc.. The long view is needed here.

Too big of a drop now will simply mean a larger upswing the next time around. Producing oil still needs to be profitable.
