I’m guessing not. And to back up my thoughts is Rick Rule of Global Resources who sent around an email [...]

I guess I need to get my act together and start referring to Casey Energy Speculator by its new name Casey Energy Opportunities.
While I do think that many of the energy stocks recommended are speculations, I suppose they feel a marketing advantage to the name change.
However, in another light, with Peak Oil and its ugly [...]

It seems that George Soros is trying to profit from the oil/gold ratio which has been skewed toward oil for quite some time. Mr. Soros must feel it’s time for the ratio to come back to the mean (or beyond).

T. Boone Pickens, my favorite Texan oil billionaire, was speaking at the American Wind Energy Association conference in Houston.
Commenting on the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) probe of possible speculator induced or manipulated price increases, T. Boone says they’re wasting their time.
Pickens claims that 86.4 million barrels per day of demand coupled with 85 million [...]

Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Purnomo Yusgiantoro, announced that his nation would not renew its OPEC membership.
Why? Simple. Since 2004 Indonesia has been a net IMPORTER of oil. The “E” in OPEC is to indicate that a country is an EXPORTER of oil. Therefore, it only makes sense for Indonesia to withdraw from [...]

Paul van Eeden of Cranberry Capital is seen on this video defending his view that the Federal Reserve is in great degree responsible for the price of oil increasing.
Notice that this guy from CNBC states that the official government statistics on inflation just don’t support Paul’s views on oil. Did someone not give this guy [...]
