RE:How's The Buyout Rumours...Price of oil? No such thing as an educated guess. One thing is for sure. The Middle East is and has been a disaster for the last two thousand years. My point is that things could change in a blink of an eye. When oil was at 140$ I heard every stupid reason in the world. At one point Putin was not seen in the media for two weeks and someone wrote that oil went up because of it. One thing is for sure. What goes up must come down then go up again.
