"Oil prices are inflated, they are not supported by market fundamentals, but geopolitics keeps oil prices artificially high, and unfortunately that’s not likely to change anytime soon... $45 to $55 is a 'fair price' for oil, and $60 isn’t justifiable."

"Fundamentally oil prices should be at $50."

16 September 2009 [2]

"There is no question in my mind that oil prices are inflated, the question is by how much, $10, $15, $20? ...the current price does not reflect the market fundamentals right now."

27 July 2009 [3]

"You can't have the speculators controlling the market... they should be some government regulation."
