This is a re-posting of the poll question to bring it up as a stand-alone post.

This is going to be really, really difficult. This is a really, really difficult poll to set up. It's difficult because the graph I'm using is "very busy." But I think most readers can figure it out.

The question is this. Going forward, for the next 10 years, let's say, do you see the price of oil and the volatility of the price of oil to reflect what we saw in Period A, Period B, or Period C on the graph?

One caveat: this precludes a major geo-political event in the Mideast, such as a) Saudi Arabia imploding; b) the Strait of Hormuz closing; or, c) an all-out shooting war across the peninsula.
