wiffleball 4,640 Posted March 14, 2018 1. Russia is getting the hell out of the West in a big way. Gazprom is pulling hundreds if not thousands of Traders and ancillary jobs out of the West. 2. Similarly, the West is continuing to get the hell out of Russia. It's just way too much mobster scene there. 3. West can't get out of Africa fast enough. I'm not sure what the Chinese are doing. But either way, doesn't seem to impact the West getting the hell out of Dodge. 4. Venezuela used to be a huge net exporter, seemingly going titts up in front of our face. 5. Saud is doing a huge retrenchment. Consolidating and sitting on mountains of cash. Seemingly abandoning other countries in the region. 6. America has massive Reserves that they're not even developing anymore. Yet they sure seem to be gearing up for something down the road. But shale still needs a certain price point to even make any of it worthwhile. One of the things I learned about Commodities Trading is it's a lot like Vegas and sports. If Vegas has an unusual line on a particular game, they know something that most people don't. Ditto with these multibillion-dollar energy companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimmySmith 2,782 Posted March 14, 2018 Assuming all of the above is true, then Brexit was a no brainer. No need to be tied to the inevitable sinking ship that is Europe. Couldn't be they knew something. Like Vegas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't be they knew something. Like Vegas?One big flaw in the above. All you have to do is look at the maps. Look at who is behind brexit. And why. We'll just leave out the incredibly facile part where virtually all of Europe weather the UK or not is part of it, is a net importer of oil. Doesn't matter much where the they get it from. So one has little or nothing to do with the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
