Marina Schwarz + 1,576 November 22, 2018 Well? Do you? How much do you trust banks and their oil price predictions? They do revise them every so often the moment oil prices change direction but not before. How reliable is this? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they predict oil over £100 sell oil shares fast. When they tell you oil is going to crater buy them back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marina Schwarz + 1,576 November 22, 2018 Yet anyone who follows oil industry developments globally on a daily basis can do that. I don't say this lightly. I'm going to apply for a job at Goldman, then. You hear, @Rodent? I'm doing it. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, everyone, I'm going down with a very annoying virus and I'm trying to get distracted here. Still, it's a serious topic. JP Morgan just revised down its 2019 Brent forecast and I'm taking bets who will be next. Goldman is playing safe expecting "heightened volatility over the next few weeks." Couldn't begin to imagine why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't begin to imagine why. As far as I'm concerned they are just doing the old pump and dump. Like selling things (getting people to pay for) that "probably" will happen later, when nobody remembers the sales pitch of today. I do not trust the banks, especially the massive, too big to fail types like this, and I sure as hell don't trust the banks when it comes to oil. They are heavily, hugely, incredibly invested in oil, with OPM. Get more people in, charge more fees, take no risks. Bad combination. I'm sure they also have "special" investment opportunities in oil at your local branch or online (although I have no facts to back that up). To Jaycee's point, or thereabouts, if you work there they will tell you what to sell and you will shut up and sell it, convincingly, or else you are back out the door.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon. And I'll see if I can get you to chuckle a bit after I get settled in today.  10 hours ago, Marina Schwarz said: JP Morgan just revised down its 2019 Brent forecast and I'm taking bets who will be next. Goldman is playing safe expecting "heightened volatility over the next few weeks." Couldn't begin to imagine why. I'm still hoping for an average of $65 Brent for 2018, and average of $70 Brent for 2019, and an average of $65 WTI for 2019. But I can be a bit stubborn ... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marina Schwarz + 1,576 November 23, 2018 $65 Brent seems pretty realistic for this year despite the swings. Next year it could spike a bit after the sanction waivers expire but I guess it'll settle back down quickly enough. We might even see a lower average for 2019 if economic outlooks don't improve. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
