KOHL FACTS:

What Will the New Year Bring for the Oil Markets?
By Keith Kohl


Trader's Note:

When Ian came onboard on November 10 of this year, I gave him a simple mandate: Make as much money as humanly possible for our readers. Period.

I told Ian, "I don't want a bunch of fancy talk about politics, world affairs, or how much you love (or hate) your wife. Make our readers money."

Ian has does nothing but that.

Today, Ian told our readers to sell half their call option position in China Sunenergy. Ian recommended CSUN call options on 12/18 at $2.90. Today, 12/27, it hit a high of $9.20... up 217% in less than two weeks!!!

Here's what shares of the common stock have done:



Right now, membership into Ian's Small Cap Trading Pit goes for $49 a year. But come January 1, the membership fee will be $99. You still have a chance in the next few days to lock-in the super low price. You can do so here: http://www.angelnexus.com/o/web/3413

Good trading,

What Will the New Year Bring for the Oil Markets?
Here we are again in what I like to call "the laziest week of the year." The week between Christmas and New Year's, when it seems everyone else has the week off. But don't feel too sorry for me, this week certainly has its benefits. For instance, my usual 45 minute drive down a congested I-95 was devoid of traffic. I actually arrived at work on time.

It only took five minutes of my daily email rounds to sour my festive spirits. Yet it wasn't just one article, but rather several, one right after another.

I'll spare you the pain and not go over every individual one (to be honest, they did provide me some comic relief). In a nutshell, they all had the same message: Energy prices will plummet during 2008.

Feel free to take a moment and laugh with me.

So what was their reasoning for such a proclamation? I boiled down their inflated copy to just three major reasons:

High oil prices will drive down consumption levels.

Geopolitical tensions are easing, which will lead to lower prices.

Global supply will outstrip demand in 2008.

Like I said, it was hard to take these articles seriously.

I've always maintained that you can toss everything out the window except for supply and demand, which will be the most important factor to watch in 2008. Today, however, I'll humor them.

Oil Prices in 2008

This company - and its technology - is emerging as one of the most important players in Canada. Some are saying it'll save the entire Canadian oil sands industry from disaster. And it could return triple-digit gains real soon . . . and quadruple-digit gains in the long term. But you have to hurry to get in.

With oil prices averaging $93.19 a barrel this week (according to the Energy Information Agency's weekly oil report today), we're hearing fewer protests over gasoline prices than in July, when crude was in the mid $70 range.

And if there's one thing I've learned from you over the last year, it's that we are nowhere near the point where consumers will stop buying gasoline.

In the words of one reader, "It doesn't matter if gas costs over $5 a gallon, I still need to get around. Maybe it's time we start paying what gasoline is really worth."

High oil prices are nothing new to us. Just remember the last two years:



As far as geopolitical tensions easing?

I couldn't believe I read that.

This week alone proves how volatile the oil markets can be. The Turkish air strikes and the Bhutto assassination in Pakistan have helped push oil prices over $95 a barrel, reaching as high as $97.79 during trading today.

Now, it's their last reason that really got me started. While weather and geopolitics certainly have enough influence to push crude prices in the short term, supply and demand is what will keep them in record territory.

Mark my words, 2008 is going to turn out to be an interesting year for oil prices. Until we have some real data on OPEC's fields, I doubt any of them can significantly raise production, aside from Saudi Arabia.

If we take their growing domestic consumption and the new output needed to offset declining production from older fields into account, the question is whether there will be enough oil left over to raise exports. If you're expecting OPEC to be a knight in shining armor, get ready to be disappointed.

Until next time,
