It would be hard to find an investment analyst with a better track record than Arjun Murti. Back in the spring of 2005, the Goldman Sachs analyst was the first Wall Street pundit to suggest that there was a strong case for an oil price "superspike" to $105/barrel. Three years later, Murti is talking about potential for another "superspike," but the metrics have changed. Now, the Goldman Sachs analyst believes it is "increasingly likely" that crude oil could leap to $150-$200/bbl in the next 6-24 months. Supply execs say a jump like that would lead to widespread system failures among marketers, mostly due to credit problems.
