Analyst: Oil will slide to $70/barrel
2014-10-24
The meltdown in the oil market is not over yet.

That's the message from Jeffrey Gundlach, the star bond investor who predicts oil will plunge another $10 (it's $80 a barrel now).

While another decline in oil prices would bring smiles to American consumers -- think around $2.70 a gallon at the pump as a national average -- it could spell trouble for the boom in shale projects boosting the U.S. economy.

"I think it's going to $70 and if it does, it's bye, bye fracking. Goodbye all of the great job creation from fracking because fracking becomes too expensive if you can buy oil at $70 a barrel," Gundlach said on Wednesday at ETF.com's Inside Fixed Income Conference.

#4  Only in Hawaii, they still get a good fraction of their electrical power from burning fuel oil.

#3  Windmill projects depend on politics, not economics; I don't think they are profitable even at $140 pr barrel of oil.

#2  Bye bye windmills first. Two thirds of money is borrowed for these things. I'd like to know the politicians who were in on that gravy train.
