Sharky I too would like to see a gradual rise ,but logic(mine)dictates otherwise,we have already seen $150,as an investor I'm also into green energy,the sooner alternatives are brought on stream the better I'll like it,sure I might come across as wanting higher price for Oil ,I continue posting articles and opinions as to why but for me I see Oil going higher in the long term because of SUPPLY not so much DEMAND,once my lease is up on the SUV I've got my eye on a hybrid..as for PDP suffice to say I continue to hold added some yesterday ;-)
