After soaring to new record highs in summer of 2008 almost reaching $150/barrel, crude oil prices has fallen precipitously. On November 19, crude oil prices dipped below $50/barrel. Dwindling demands, global crisis and looming recession continues to put downward pressure on crude oil pricing. Deutsche Bank sees a $40/barrel in the near term.

This one has a definite chance of becoming true. Crude just fell to close at $43.67. Submit your vote soon to make it playable as it has an end of year judgment date.
