Crude resumes rise, breaks $65

Damn... I read this as "Crude resume's rise, breaks $65" - I'm thinking why would someone pay $65 for a crude resume'...

 
Well, I'm either going to start riding the motorcycle a hell of a lot more or start to Armstrong (as in Lance) my fat ass the 12 miles or so to work everyday. I need more cardio anyway in preparation for my impending deployment to Iran. 😀

Oil is an extremely risky investment? Are you doubting that on the long term, the cost of oil is rising?

What do you consider long-term?

any length of time that excludes short term fluctuations. Say 3 years? In 3 years I'd be surprised if oil is cheaper than it is today, even with the spike in price

You're not the only one. At first I was thinking, "Damn, you mean I can produce a crap resume for someone and make over $65 a pop?"

The last big spike was 2 decades ago. The next big spike may be 2 decades from now.

Crude prices will eventually be higher. I agree with you. But by the time the true 'peak oil' problem reaches, crude revenues will be plumetting. So the stock prices will actually be going down when crude price go up.

Think of the extreme: the very last drop of oil. It might be worth many, many times what a drop of oil goes for now. But the oil companies will be all bankrupt and the stocks worthless.

Oil is a very risky investment in my opinion. You know you are buying the stock when it is expensive. Why not buy a stock that you know is inexpensive and take your money there?

That's a really sh|tty definition, ya know that? 😛

So 3 years would be the terminator between long term and short term? Hell I could make 5k work for me much better in 3 years by NOT investing it. 😀
 
Is it possible to jack up export taxes to middle eastern countries? If so, we should everytime they start to jack up our oil prices.
 
It is amazing the glee with which some you express at a factor that could cause major problems with our economy.

Rising gas prices could eventually effect even those of you living off mommy and daddy.

There is a transportation expense in every consumable.


Rising gas prices are not a good thing.

Technically Maximas can take 91 but drives like a snail.

Over the weekend I drove to Maryland with half a tank of gas. 250Miles+ on half a tank on Premium Gas! Sweet eh?

Peak oil baby, peak oil. It's becoming a reality. It's possible that the prices could go up to $100 by Christmas/winter.
