Be Audacious!

"Be audacious. There is always a best possible path. Your job is to find it and have the courage to follow it. What you think is attainable is just a function of what you know at the moment.

Crude Oil: Sub $100 Will Be Transitory

"I think the sub $100 per barrel crude oil prices we enjoyed since the 2014 oil price crash will turn out to have been transitory. Those low prices resulted from a strengthening U.S. dollar and a boom in domestic production due to fracking. Neither of those benign factors will return."
