GasBuddy Blog -- It's not often you read predictions of falling oil prices but self-made multi-millionaire trader and investor Vince Stanzione is betting on lower oil prices in the next 5 years and a boom in U.S. oil & gas production that will give the American economy a well-needed boost that could see the country not only being totally energy independent but an actual net exporter by 2020 - too good to be true? A recently issued report by a trading company sheds some light on the perhaps drastic prediction.

Not gonna happen, folks. When crude falls on the world market, China will simply snap it up to drive spot market prices higher. As to Stanzione's "market prediction?" Yeah, right...he and about 5,000,000 other "analysts" said the same, exact thing.

I was told the water level in lake Erie was going to be too low for ship navigation by the 70s, by the late 80s there were lakeside cottages being washed out by high water. The experts program their computers with current trends, and add variables that they consider likely. This is why weather forecasts are only considered accurate for 5 days in the future. There is SOME junk science out there, and some predictions on the economy and energy are way off. How many news items have you heard that begin with " Economists were suprised"? Some predictions are later proven so totally false that one begins to think they are propaganda meant to condition us to being exploited by Wall street.

We could be energy independent OK but the world price of oil will still influence domestic oil which may be a good thing in the big picture. But I think oil will steady out at about 80 bucks by then...depending on the diminishing value of the dollar.
