When will Light, Sweet Crude reach $140 per barrel?

Settled as Between June 20, 2008 and July 18, 2008

http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/26/markets/oil/index.htm?postversion=2008062614

Background:

It's bound to happen, it's a question of when.

I stacked the odds heavier towards the end of May since the price of oil has steadily increased this year.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Looks like this one has been hidden away somewhere today. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention.

Does this require that it close at $140 or more, or that it just hit or cross the $140.00 mark during the trading day?
