    Peak Oil = Peak BS

    I looked on Twitter for oil predictions and tried to see where the consensus was. In general, the oil people - industry people and oil analysts - were bullish on the oil price. The non-experts, the finance people who were not in the industry or weren't oil analysts, were generally bearish on the...

    Peak Oil = Peak BS

    $10B in shale investment just isn't very much, I think Chevron once spent $55B on a natgas facility in Australia. When peoples say that shale will replace all the conventional declines they don't really keep the scale in mind. Production declines 5% per year, shale is not much more than a few...

    Towards the end of the Chipotle run, when it was getting like 10% SSS increases on a mature concept, I think a lot of that was a social fad. Everybody was going to Chipotle because everybody was going to Chipotle. A neighborhood would get a new Chipotle and the late adopters - the biggest group...

    Any congo dandies posting here?

    This is good. As a boring Anglo Saxon, we can learn something from their joie de vivre. On the other hand, it's a lot of wasted sexual signaling. In an environment where disease is everywhere, you have to waste wealth in order to show confidence/wealth/potency so as to mate quickly before you...

    Fake News: Blame it on Macedonia

    It looks like the establishment left wants to blame its failures on "Fake News" from Macedonia, and Russian meddling. This reminds me of the flash crash being blamed on a lone trader in the UK who has been extradited to US. "Hey, let's blame this really big failure on some nobody overseas and...

    Dell T7500 Server/Workstation - Input Needed

    OT but CHromebooks are the future. You can get them for less than $200 and they're superfast. I don't see how Apple can compete at $2000 per Mac/$800 iphone/$100 Apple TV with Google Chromebook/Android/Googlecast at basically a couple hundred. No 14 year old will be able to afford a Mac/iphone...

    is trading oil just trading the dollar

    Does this mean that Canadian oil has a kind of structural advantage vs the US? Canadian oil producers benefit from having essentially a petro currency - as the loonie declines and dollar strengthens, they benefit from selling in dollars while local costs are in loonies. So a Canadian producer in...

    is trading oil just trading the dollar

    As the dollar strengthens, oil exporters have more incentive to pump oil, all else equal: their labor costs are in local currencies, revenues are in dollars. So the price of oil has to adjust. Not a spurious correlation. The Russians haven't been as hard hit by the weak oil price as US producers...

    OK thanks for clarifying that, I knew my number was off. Even if dollar trading is just 25% of that, it still dwarfs the oil market.

    is trading oil just trading the dollar

    A guy on twitter called Raoul Pal posted this chart to show that oil trades exclusively on the dollar: The implication is that if dollar goes up, oil goes back to $20s. That seems really unlikely based on supply and demand for oil, but what if he's right? Oil is priced in dollars, so if...
