I think Blackrock's recent announcement suggests Cramer is right. I know that I'm the one who said the RethinkX guy is full of it for saying the petroleum market is going to collapse in 10 years. But a stock is a bet on the future and future potential is quickly priced in. So you don't know the actual market to collapse in 10 years for the stock prices to plummet. You just need more sellers than buyers.
