Rogers’ argument is no different from that of most other commodities bulls. A rapid recovery in the global economy will hit oil supplies with unprecedented demand. Oil fields around the world are aging and their production is falling. Underwater fields are hard to drill and some many be unreachable based on current technology.
Rogers may be worth listening to because he has been right so often in the past. He c0-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros almost forty years ago and has done remarkably well, making himself a billionaire, though intelligent investments in global commodities.
Rogers is already making his bet on $200 oil. It was at $147 just a little more than two years ago. If it can get there once it can certainly get there again.
