Beware of Pundits Playing the "Iran Oil Card"

It's getting to be crunch time in the negotiations between the West and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program. Despite an ill-advised attempt by U.S. senators to scuttle the talks, it's clear the negotiations in Geneva will continue.

Combined with production surpluses in the United States and elsewhere, the "instant" prognosticators are pushing their Armageddon pricing scenario again, putting additional pressure on oil prices. Meanwhile, those playing the new "Iranian card" are shorting oil even further. It's just the latest example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. It works like this... Chicken Little of "The Sky is Falling Brokerage" hits the airwaves warning of a collapse in prices, only to earn huge off-camera profits based on what he just said. Meanwhile, average investors are left holding the bag as share prices fall. The post Beware of Pundits Playing the "Iran Oil Card" appeared first on Money Morning - We Make Investing Profitable .
