These men are truly blessed to have a working mind at this age.

Increasing interest rates are going to continue to increase bank failures because it puts their commercial paper and treasuries underwater. They need to freeze interest rates to prevent a deep recession in the economy. At the same time the White house needs to help industry to increase gas and oil output to reduce fuel prices. The war on oil only serves to increase energy prices which trickles out to the rest of the economy as inflation. Lowering interest rates, tightening the money supply, reducing government spending and increasing the cheap supply of fuel will result in reduced inflation and a booming economy. Presto, no inflation and no recession. Of course there are a lot of other agendas out there that will never let all of that happen, so hello recession and sticky inflation.

The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.

[@patrickbrussels4454]

I enjoy my day to day market decisions being guided by a portfolio-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not outperform, been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over $1.2million.

Oil is abundant all over the world. There is no shortage. What is intriguing these days is how the major companies have stopped investing money in exploration and drilling new wells. They are keeping their production flat, buying back shares and paying out small dividends. This behaviour is keeping the supply tight over demand. The price per barrel is strong enough to allow these companies massive amounts of cash flow to buy back shares rather than spending millions on exploration and development. Despite the looming financial instability the demand for oil will stay strong but the development of new wells will lag behind this demand thus keeping the price between $70 to $100 per barrel. Bottomline; invest in a company with low debt, that is buying back shares and has years of reserves in the portfolio.

Sorry I work as a geologist in the industry...sadly we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. There's almost no conventional 'big' proespects left and the unconventional locations left are the tier two properties. Peak oil is here IMHO.

If they ever come up with free energy. Which they will. Oil will be around forever we need it. It just will not be demanding as it is now. For Oil and gas. When I was very young kid. We had a family geologist tell me there’s enough oil to last for millions of years in the PermianBasin. I have lived in the PermianBasin all my life.

[@christopherparsons3224]

Figuring out how to more efficiently extract electricity from the electrical energy inherent in the atomic structure is a likely possibility, if the world can survive to such a time. However, good luck making plastic, car tires, asphalt, and heavy lubricants (e.g., grease) out of electricity.

[@theassertivegentleman]

I'll be waiting for $40 to begin building my long position.

[@richardcranium2059]

There are always folks like yourself coming in late to the party thinking of that big "second chance" window. OXY shares won't hit $40 now that large amount of debt has been paid, shares bought back and oil remains relatively stable around $65-75. OXY makes $$ at or above $40/bbl. You should've been there to buy shares or warrants in Oct 2020 if you wanted real value and upside potential! The old adage "Never let a crisis go to waste" is largely used in politics but works in financials just the same for those that ready themselves for the moment.

I wonder whether they care about the climate crisis. They didn't mention it at all. The elephant in the room.

[@sa34w]

Who cares , let the polar bears drown. They are people killers.

[@karlw7764]

Buffett addresses this, and the answer is that it is irrelevant to their investing decisions, which are completely rational. If there is money to be made investing in oil production, they will invest. If there is a climate "crisis", it is due to consumption of oil. So far no one has figured out how to live without consuming it. As long as it is consumed, there will be a market for it, and people will get paid to produce it. Not producing it just drives the price up and encourages more production. Trying to stop people from producing it by not investing in production is just giving money to people who will invest in it - like Warren Buffett, and a zillion other people who like to make money. Making oil more expensive for ourselves just gives China and other developing economies a huge competetive financial advantage, which is effectively a subsidy for them. We have to radically reduce energy consumption overall and also use a bunch more nuclear energy to solve this CO2 problem. Having higher energy density batteries will definitely help on the transport side. Solid state. Toyota by 2028.
