All the things you said are true but we cant ignore the obvious. North America is no longer free countries and free markets. Its upside down world. Illegal nonsense happening every day. Entire "pandemic" for instance. People beleive climate change is man made. People beleive we can all drive electric cars, no problemo. Elections are cheated like crazy. Add enter the crazies to call me crazy. Lying eyes, dont beleive em.
I've never seen more BS, corruption and outright stink on this side of the planet. Its not a free market.

The political diddling with oil supply can only last so long before Mr. Market decides to enact the Law of Unintended Consequences.
SA is out of spare capacity. RU will lose production from natural decline, loss of western expertise, sanctions and simply being russian clowns. The rest of OPEC can not meet their quotas. Underinvestment in capex has created a ~ 5 year delay in production increases. US shale will not return to drilling because 1 they have drilled off their Tier 1 acreage and 2 the inflated costs to drill Tier 2 acreage is too high 3 they cant raise capital with unattractive ROC 4 interest rates too high.
Oil will be very volatile but there will be price moves to profit from.
One can look at the world through the eyes of a cynic and easily be swayed into believing conspiracy theories and irrational ideas expressed by other misanthropists.Even an idealist can become cynical
if betrayed enought times. I don't know what the solution is for someone who has "fallen down the rabbit hole" and can't get out on their own. But i do know that when presented with new or even old ideas i make an attempt to see and evaluate the merits from both the cynic and idealist before deciding what to believe.
These people that blast a political party and their leaders constantly without offering rational solutions fail to see that the alternatives could be much much worse. Maybe not for you as an individual, but for the majority of citizens.
Thats my rant, and i feel much better having expressed my feelings on seeing such hatefull, cynical, and ignorant comments on a daily basis.
As someone else said i wish we could stick to discussing just investing in the stock market.
