@BenO6O1199O@APompliano Gold can be made artificially through nuclear transmutation, but the process is extremely costly and yields only microscopic amounts.
@leadlagreport Considering oil is a finite resource that does not form quickly, NO. It is the product of a geological process that spans tens of millions of years. Global supply is estimated to run dry in ~50 years. It can (and should) go much, much higher.
@MalcolmTur13555@leadlagreport Oil is a finite resource that does not form quickly โ it is the product of a geological process that typically spans tens of millions of years...
~$2.74 for 1 gallon of nonrenewable fossil fuel formed over millions of years from buried organic matter under very specific geological conditions actually seems very, very cheap.
It's scary to think how cheap a barrel of oil is even at $115.
1 barrel = 42 gallons
That's ~$2.74/gal
33% less than the national average of $4.11 for a gallon of milk.
Oil can go much higher.
Guess itโs going to take a lackluster earnings season for you guys to finally get the memo. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Until then, enjoy the dead cat bounceโฆ
@PeterSchiff Theyโll engineer one more hike to really try and sell the illusion of independence, but the long-term playbook is entirely predictable: the FED will inevitably reverse course and revert to QE and lowering the FFR (per Trumpโs wishes).
