RE:Don't Be Surprised When They Strike a DealCrow, thanks for the article. The thing is, Venezuela is going visiting all the major producers to try to broker a deal. They are desperate and are trying to make something happen. But nothing is going to happen unless Russia and the Sauds come to an agreement and from what I can see they simply won't because there is no way that Russia would be willing to give up the Chinese market share that they have taken from the Sauds over the past couple of years. My guess is that there is a VERY good possibility that simple supply and demand will continue to correct the market and if the PoO is still seriously under $55.00 - $60.00 in the late fall, we will see some kind of major dramatic event like a major recession or a serious war come 2017. Something that will reset everything. The Sauds are holding all the cards and they have no reason to fold at this point and no amount of pressure from other OPEC members is going to move them. They know that the market will correct without them having to do anything. If it is a major global recession that does the trick then they stand a very good chance of increasing their market share as countries such as Russia, who are currently in an economic vise, will be absolutely hammered.
