    Eh, probably not. I was just amused by the idea of the EU fining OPEC several billion euro and telling it to stop messing around with the Oil prices...!

    I'm going to go around shouting it from the roof tops so hopefully people aren't so idealistic in future. Idealism kills people, it's why idiots don't vaccinate their children or why someone might vote for Corbyn.
    Are you claiming that you accurately predicted the fall in oil price and the reasons behind it?

    Not at all, but I've been short brent sweet crude light, so it didn't come as a shock to me at all. If I had been so certain about it I'd had made millions rather than just a few k.

    The fact was that when you suggested that having a plan that centers around oil being at a historic high, that such a plan might be flawed, you were branded a scaremonger. You were labelled a bully by some of the pro independence types just for suggesting it might rain.

    No, not at all.

    That basing your entire economic future on a coin toss coming up heads every day is very stupid.
