Goldman Sachs Predicts Oil "Super-Spike"



Investment bank Goldman Sachs portends more gloom and doom in their latest oil futures prediction. A search through their previous prognostications seems to back up the story. They were some of the first to predict triple digit per barrel prices.

An excerpt:

A counter-thought:
Perhaps they really believe the price has topped out for the moment and need some buyers...
