Are you saying the gas/oil boom we are going through in this country is NOT going to last 2 more years?
I have no opinion on that, one way or the other. I claim no expertise in the oil industry (and damned little in investing!). What I noticed was the the opinions referenced were (other than the Fool making the post) were all people involved in the industry. I believe is that the greatest influences on the industry are external; that means they can not be predicted by studying the industry, and that expertise in the industry does not necessarily apply when predicting the course of those external influences. In other words, the view from “smack dab in the middle of the oil patch in West Texas” is only part of the picture.
