What is the chance that oil will hit $100 a barrel?

James Hamilton gives a comprehensive answer.  If you believe the options market, the answer is about 7 percent, using June 2006 as an expiration date.  On the brighter side, there is a 15 percent chance, more or less, that it falls below $40 a barrel by that same date.
