NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The price of oil fell Thursday, shedding more 
than half its value since the summer's highs, after a government supply 
report signaled weak demand for petroleum products.
Light, sweet crude for November delivery fell $4.69 to $69.85 a barrel on 
the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil is now down 52% from July's all-time 
high above $147 a barrel.

Thursday's closing price was the lowest since Aug. 23, 2007 when oil settled 
at $69.83 a barrel.

_________

Prediction: Within 3 months, oil will be below $40 a barrel and headed back 
to the 2002 level of $20.
