Thanks to Leanan for originally bringing this article to our attention and thanks to Prof.Goose for giving it the attention it deserves.

Can anyone comment on the source of this article. Obviously it came out of Davos. But what is the context? Was this reporter simply asking the opinion of high-fliers in the crowd and chose Browder and Soros as the focus, due to their "numbers" ?

Soros doesn't give a figure and Browder's are obviously extremely high.

What is the news? Simply the $262 figure. What the hell is that? If I were in Davos and said 263, would you be reading my name now in place of Browder's?

Was this a joint statement? Was this a joint speech? What is this? The article doesn't give any clues. The obvious conclusion would be that it was neither - but I'm not going to draw that conclusion. I await further input.

Was this the consensus of some round table and Soros and Browder were chosen as the spokespeople? Who knows.

No mention of peak oil.

This is the best Soros can do. That is what this is. This is all about Soros.

Also, I'm not impressed with Browder either, if he's still invested in Russian oil companies.  If oil really hits $262/barrel for a significant period of time, does he really think that Putin is going to allow him to extract that wealth from Russia?
