I’ve been in oil and natural gas several years now, it’s basically an endless pump and dump cycle

I’m definitely staying long. It’s extremely volatile but I’m confident the long term trend is up. Plus energy is one of the best sectors for dividends

It’s obvious the markets are rigged in every aspect. Another example is the defined contribution benefit plan (e.g., 401k, 403b). Why do I have to contribute to my own retirement SAVINGS account and then have rules about when I can take money out? It’s a controlled system and fully dependent upon future generations to participate. It is by definition a Ponzi Scheme.

usually, at least with commodities, I like to buy low and sell high. True, crude is down today but with a recession on the way and economic collapse no one will be able to drive their cars at any price because of global warming so that is to be expected. Soon, with Joe Biden's re-election, prices will not matter anyway as there will not be any commodities to buy anyway. Prepare to freeze in the dark before you die of starvation while contemplating the morality of saving the planet. Today I am thankful I still have my sense of humor tomorrow maybe not so much

Screw oil...invest in xmas tree farms. Just paid $100 for a 6 foot balsam. The frazer firs,were close to $200. One of my guys whose sold trees for 60 years isn't selling anymore. Too expensive from his supplier and he can't get any workers. Hope the Christ Child appreciates my sacrifice. I'm trying to buy my way up to the good place, Greg. Sucking up to the Son of God must surely help. Or won't it? Happy Turkey day to all the lions.
