    Goldman Sachs commodities strategist Jeff Currie causes a stir by saying he wouldn't be surprised “if we woke up in summer and oil cost $150" a barrel. In December, the firm's official forecast for 2013 was ~$100/bbl. Currie says that despite the boom in U.S. shale gas, the oil price remains high, which he attributes primarily to sanction-related supply disruptions in Iran.

    Yup......didn't they try to get out once before with this sort of call?

    Remember the bond call from 2012? Ten year was at 2.40% or so and they made the 'short of the century' call.

    Probably one of the worst of a bad series of calls that they have ever made.......

    What an a^&h(*&! Let's get all the suckers on board and then take it down from there. Classic "Pump & Dump". It's amazing these guys get paid for making off the cuff statements. For the record, I hold both bull and bear Oil ETF's with a heavier weighting long. We will see.
