September 23, 2009
Simon Atkins, MBA, CEO, Senior Industrial Disaster Threat Forecaster, Advanced Forecasting Corporation
The Old Man and the Sea of Oil | www.rigzone.com
For many a wrong reason, bulls in crude believe that the “Old Man” (Mr. Naimi) is right (in his saying there has been "a fundamental change" in the oil market) when he says that the global economy is recovering. In addition, many oil bulls think the “Little Boy” (El Nino) will remain weak this winter despite most forecasts saying it won’t. To top off the confusing mix of signals, let’s mix in the...

OPEC Leader Khelil Says Dollar Will Drive Oil to $170 | www.bloomberg.com
Chakib Khelil, Algerian Oil Minister and OPEC President, predicts that oil will climb to $170 a barrel by 12/31/08 due to the likelihood that political pressure on Iran as well as other conflicts and turmoil will continue, and on further speculation that the US dollar will see further decline (weakening against the Euro in particular).

Don't Hold Your Breath Waiting For Mass-Market Hydrogen Car Buyers
June 24, 2008
Simon Atkins, MBA, CEO, Senior Industrial Disaster Threat Forecaster, Advanced Forecasting Corporation
The Last Car You Would Ever Buy--Literally: Why We Shouldn't Get Excited By The Latest Hydrogen Cars | www.technologyreview.com
If you build it, it’s almost certain the media will come, and they certainly did come in hoards recently to see Honda’s new FCX Clarity. However, the proposed hydrogen fuel cell economy is a fantasy in the media hype consciousness. Why should oil companies (or government) spend tens of billions of dollars building a hydrogen fueling infrastructure, which at best will take away business from...
