Hi Sharky,

So far I have not been able to view the moogaloop clip, but I will keep on trying.

Best Wishes,

Jan. 5 (Bloomberg) -- The steepest plunge in crude prices on record may be setting up oil investors for a rally this year, if history is any guide.

The so-called forward curve of futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange suggests oil will rise 28 percent to $60.10 a barrel by December. The curve looks almost the same as 10 years ago, after Russia’s default and the collapse of the Long-Term Capital Management LP hedge fund raised concerns that a global economic slowdown would reduce energy demand. Crude prices fell 25 percent in the final quarter of 1998, the steepest drop in seven years.

Bets on a recovery paid off then as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cut production 6.9 percent, causing prices to more than double in 1999. Now, OPEC is pledging to reduce supply 9 percent, companies from Royal Dutch Shell Plc to Valero Corp. are postponing new energy projects and central banks are cutting interest rates to end the worst financial crisis since World War II.

“The world economy will get into a more stable environment most probably in the second half of next year,” Christoph Eibl, who helps manage more than $1 billion at Tiberius Asset Management AG in Zug, Switzerland, said Dec. 31. “Commodities are thus due for a rebound. Crude oil has the best potential.”
