"When you least expect it, expect it." It would seem that the oil situation is just now stating to heat up. Now we must wait to see how it plays out.

I go to CNN and other news sites and I hardly see any articles about oil. Where is all the news about the oil production? How do folks find the information so quickly about oil problems and pricing?

MegaMe, you maybe "got a link" to back up your recent opinion?

PA Engineer -

Thanks - I used to work in Kingdom myself, worst and best 3 years of my life, if you know what I mean :o)

Couple of points...

1. Two i's in Shiite :o) ROTFLMAO!!!

2. This is the latest skinny from Dog Gone on another thread [PagingDog Gone...]

The ports in Saudi Arabia are having severe technology problems. The one at Yanbu is basically toast. The one at Jeddah is "almost" fully operational. That's the good news. The bad news is that telephones are not working well at all. Maybe 30% efficiency on wireline and 50% on cellular. At this point the situation is deteriorating. Bin- Laden operatives are trying to cause trouble by stirring up passions. The foreign workers are staging a work slowdown to seek improved conditions (the Saudis don't like to do the manual work themselves). The phones are causing further complications in the whole export process.

Overall, things do NOT look good, and may deteriorate next month to the point where being a Westerner there might be a bad thing.

The local press is echoing the US line that there are no problems at all.

This tends to support Harry Schultze's inside information I posted yesterday...

Turn off your computer, get in your car, and drive to a gas station.
