Seriously ......All joking aside , lets take a good look at the pro's and con's of this debate . Since we have already been "exposed" to the negative , let's look at the pro's .
1 - there is no denying that the supply/demand figures continue to show a tight supply and resilient demand
2 - drilling has plateaued and even cut back from recent highs .
3 - the WTI contract presently being traded is the Nov contract , SPR ends in Nov which will expose the US supply shortage
4 - the US sanctioned another 9 companies for facilitating the sale of Iranian oil and refined products , I guess Joe was angry that Iran made him look stupid for thinking religious fanatics would consider anything other than "death to the infidel" .
5 - OPEC+ has no interest in saving Joe's a$$
6 - oil and gas are NEEDED , not optional and we are seeing the hazards of not being energy secure .
This is just a few things off the top of my head and while I appreciate some peoples fear , my best advice is to do what works for you . If you aren't comfortable being in the game , take a break , sell out and ride the pine until you get your nerve back . I guess you could ask Mike McGloom if he wants to be your pen-pal
