Oil has lost its 'mojo' as investment play: Analyst

According to one analyst, crude oil's (CL=F, BZ=F) appeal as a speculative investment play has significantly faded, with the expert going as far as to state, "we may never return to that level of interest."
Tom Kloza, OPIS global head of energy analysis, joins host Akiko Fujita to highlight oil’s now fading reputation in the capital world.
Kloza reminisces about oil being a major hero during the ages of the Arab Spring crisis (uprisings across Arab world from 2010-11) but now says it's being outplayed by big tech and crypto.
"[Oil] was a place that you would see a lot of speculative money go, but it really has lost its mojo," Kloza tells Fujita. "I mean, now that money, that hot money, that fast money, that huge money goes into crypto and it goes into big tech."
"I would submit that we may never go back to that," he added.

I’m bullish on oil. The green energy tech we have at this time cannot sustain AI and increased automation which requires an exponential increase in power. 20years is not long enough to lose the insatiable appetite for oil that modern tech requires.

Me too...Exxon on sale.

[@Moneyosophy]

Tom's breakdown of the oil market's current state and future risks was spot on, especially the points about demand stagnation and emerging EV trends.

I'm 40 and looking to invest in the stock market. I've got $100,000 to invest and I'm considering a mix of individual stocks and index funds. What are my best options for maximizing returns while minimizing risk?

[@MariaPerez-pp1dp]

Investing in the stock market can be complex, but with the right guidance, you can create a diversified portfolio. I'd recommend consulting a seasoned expert who specializes in investment management.

[@ChristianJacquet9]

Should I focus on growth stocks, dividend stocks, or a mix of both? And how can I ensure that my portfolio is aligned with my risk tolerance and financial goals?

[@KevinCollins09]

You should discuss these questions with your financial advisor (if you have one!). I actually work with a financial advisor, Glenn Howard Chesterr, to create a customized investment portfolio. I met him at a NYSE summit and he helped me develop a diversified strategy that balanced risk and returns.

[@ChristianJacquet9]

@@KevinCollins09 I am curious, how has your portfolio performed working with Glenn?

[@KevinCollins09]

My portfolio has boomed significantly! I've seen substantial growth over the years, and also confident that my investments will continue to perform well. Glenn's expertise and guidance have been invaluable to me.

Regardless what oil does in 2025 the need for pipelines will always be needed so that is where I am adding to my positions

Hydrogen is the next energy. NASA has been using it for decades

[@frankcoffey]

If you can trick consumers into using it you can charge anything you want because their devices will be useless without it, consumers can't make it, and not a lot of competition. It would have better pricing power than printer ink.

[@tarrantcountykid]

@@frankcoffey Like they did with oil except water is literally everywhere. It doesn’t grow on trees but it falls from the sky. The automobile industry is already manufacturing vehicles that run on it. The problem is distribution but the industry that can do it wants to squeeze out all the oil first.

[@twandoelo]

Yahoooooo!

[@garo52]

So who will curtail production at $50-60 / bbl ? Permian producers will

[@tonioyendis4464]

I'm still buying Exxon & Chevron.

[@YaoAnne-j7g]

!I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.

[@BensonTati]

As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

[@HaholBarton]

I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..

[@BensonTati]

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

[@HaholBarton]

Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.

[@YaoAnne-j7g]

how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
