European Tribune - Comments - Countdown to $200 oil (12)

Countdown to $200 oil (12) - betting on Yergin | 10 comments (10 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Yergin's success comes from his book, "the Prize" which is a really good history of the oil industry. And since the mid-90s, he's been driving CERA rather relentlessly, pushing it as the "go to" consultancy on oil&gas matters, rather successfully. Who are pundits to argue if the oil companies and banks buy his (very expensive) stuff?

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Re: Yergin etc (none / 0)

Maybe it's because he's so consistently wrong that his advice is so valuable, as pointed out elsewhere in the thread....
