Is it just me or does economic forecasts where the prices like oil go up is gloomy and when they fall is gloomy. Steady prices is a sign of a fixed market so why the glum? Well, most prices are fixed like milk and corn and gold. Seems that only the costs of crack on the street are market driven.

The norm is $100-110 per barrel. When it goes up to $150 or down to $50,
then some people are going to get really screwed, and so the news
is gloomy.

I disagree that $100-150 is the norm. For many, many years $20 was the "norm." Prior to the US invasion of Iraq, oil was comfortably in the $30-$40 range http://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-o ... tory-chart

I would like to spend some time and research the price of oil to gold ratio for the past 50 years or so. I'll see what I can dig up.
