Good point on the back half of the year loading. It would make for a heck of a second half. As for your prognostications on oil pricing, it all depends on the value of the US Dollar as the price of oil which is priced in US Dollars will, be predicated on currency valuation of the US$. If US$ strengthens oil will go down. If $ weakens the price of oil will go up. All other factors being equal. Like world demand. Interesting balancing act Bernanke (US Chairman of the Federal Reserve) is playing. I would not want the job!
