I do not wish for $200/bbl but rather expect it given my beleif in Peak Oil,as for your theory I dont doubt it,ETF funds were involved along with IMHO the US Stategic Reserve,they sure benefited from their selling the reserves high and replacing them at the lows.
As for Connacher IMHO once completed 50000/bbl CLL should be worth $25.00,call it what you will (pumping?)its why I'm invested,my idea of investing is do the due dillegence come up with a number and buy accordingly.FWIW I beleive Connacher will eventually become a Royalty Trust.
