Noob here. So a FUCK ton of oil stocks are extremely cheap right

>>1026963
Iran and Saudi Arabia are about to enter a pricing war. It's going to get way cheaper before it goes back up.

>>1026969

Ok. But it will go back up for sure would you say? I am well aware that I have a fucking collosal amount of research to do. But I just want to invest a grand in some cheap oil stocks for shits and see if that grand becomes 10k in 3yrs.

>>1026969

Also Saudi Arabia (news sais 4 hours ago) hiked gas prices 50%. I'm just curious how this will affect stock prices?

>>1026971
it won't go back up.
there's so much being flooded so cheaply, we could store it for years meaning demand will not be there even if they stopped. further, renewables keep getting cheaper, more viable, and third world countries which were oil dependant are being forced fed renewables by the west.

the oil meme is long gone.
invest instead in biotech.

>>1026976

Someone pls tell me he's wrong and just a kike SHILL : ( ( (

>>1026979
It's the truth. Oil rigs are closing in Texas right now. I talked with guys who literally jumped to BITCOIN because they were desperate because their oil was dying. Theres a push for all cars to be electric (or at least hybrid) by 2050. The only reason federal reserves, fracking and such are being looked at for cheap oil is because drilling it out anywhere else costs too much to net a profit. We have too much oil and the demand and prices are falling HARD.

>>1026979
They said Oil would be 30 by October when it's average was about 38. I wouldn't take it as gospel.

How is global oil storage? Are they full already? Still filling up?

Oil is not a renewable resource, water is, so when oil is as cheap as water, im buying.

>>1026971
As long as you're in for the long haul then It should improve in the next 5yrs. I wouldn't say x10 but at double ROI sound reasonable.

>>1027189
This.

If you invest in oil companies now, prepare to wait for the money. Seeing as oil is finite sooner or later logic dictates the the prices must go up but that may take a while.

>>1027220
No that's not logical.
Supply goes up, demand goes up, price is neutral
Supply goes down, demand goes up, price goes up
Supply goes up, Demand goes down, price goes down
Supply goes Down, Demand goes down, Price is neutral

in a simplistic model.
Once you go into exact rates anything is possible.

>>1027507

Hmmm nope fuck u

>>1027502

Automobile efficiency is not a big deal when you could have 50+ percent more cars on the road in 10 years. China is the number 1 producer of cars in the world already (and I doubt they are on the same fuel efficiency plan as U.S). The stats were crazy last year they made a new car every 2 minutes or some shit.

Also it takes longer than that to drill and complete wells. Closer to a month on the drilling and 5 days or so fracing. I think only the eagle ford has such quick drill times.

But yeah it is exciting to think of all the unconventional oil in the world. Surely it's not just abundant in America.

>>1027578

i could think buying the first barrels at $20 if we ever reach that point, prolly with 2-3x leverage. buying a company is probably much riskier than just buying the oil. or at least buy multiple companes. some of them could dive to bankruptcy

>>1027578

Automobile efficiency means that your additional cars consume less gasoline than their actual numbers. If there are 50% more automobiles and they all consume 20% less gas than average, then from the perspective of gasoline demand, there are markedly less than 50% more automobiles on the road.

>>1027582

I think ur wrong dude

>>1027588

Incorrect

>>1027582

These prices are crazy low I want to buy right now. 20 is the inflation adjusted price from most of the fucking 50s when there were way less cars and the world was still in primary production of the biggest/best major oil fields. If they could support 20 back then I think 30 now is just absolute rock bottom.

>>1027588

Yeah but the point is that there is more total demand for gasoline.

>>1027597

But not by as much as you're expecting, because nobody fucking includes fuel efficiency in their fleet consumption projections.

>>1027595

Nope

>>1027605

Just a note that not everyone buys the latest cars, with the latest stats in regards to fuel. In-fact, fuel economy hasn't actually changed drastically for a little over 10 - 15 years when we're talking about an average car. For example a 1993 toyota corolla fuel economy is 27 city and 34 highway, while a 2013 toyota corolla is exactly the same. Not only that, but more Americunts that cared for the environment while gas prices were high are now buying trucks, suvs, and RVs.

I'm not sure what is going on to cause oil to drastically fall this drastically, when not to long ago everyone was shitting themselves about the depletion of oil, green house gases, and global warming. Now we all of a sudden have an abundance of oil that is at our finger tips. Plus the US is starting to export oil due to the excess amount of oil.

I'm rather concerned for what our future withholds.

>>1027635

Bruh, by 1993 cars used in the US had already begun to lose fuel efficiency over their late-70s/early-80s counterparts. We've lost a ton of fuel efficiency over the decades.

>>1026963
Oil was expensive because OPEC regulated supply.

OPEC is now ded as the fucking League of Nations, the Gulf Monarchies have declared a price war on the Russians, the Iranians, the Shale companies and whoever else dares oppose them.

The gulf between the Saudis/GCC and the Iranians/Russians (pun intended) has grown too large, in the immortal words of Taylor Swift, they are never ever, ever, ever, getting back together.

And that's not counting the current Chinese Slowdown. Nothing short of a full blown shooting war between Iran and Saudi can kill oil at this point.

Usually 70s family cars had in-line/straight 6 engines averaging 20 mpg. Your early 80s vehicles operated the same, but it wasn't till the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s that MPG actually became a concern.

>>1027636

> 'Merican cars
> not even once

But arn't we forgetting that planes, farming, industry etc all utalize and rely on oil. The demand is going to go up not down.

>>1027666
Also when we started insisting on safer cars that weighed way more, so the increase in efficiency wasn't reflected in anything but fuel consumption stability per mile

For the majors it might be a good idea, you're probably looking at smaller shale producers which due to their relatively high extraction costs have been hit hardest. Very good chance of a lot of those firms folding completely; by no means a safe bet.

>>1027126
*laugh*

Instead, it went down -6%
How does it feel to be such a retard?

>>1028564

The majors suck though they couldn't even make shale profitable at 100$ oil. They are just too big it's like beurocratic. Find the smaller company that hedged well and has small royalty burdens and a good conventional base to depend on and will be able ride out the storm. Now that would be a winner.

>>1027635

Try closer to 40mpg highway while not being a rolling death trap.

>>1028564
I see the majors going on a shopping spree and buying up the smaller failing companies. They have weathered periods of cheap oil before.

>>1026974

This is what youngins say every damn time.

When oil is low, they say "oil is dead, invest in renewables"

When oil is high they say "this is peak oil, we're running out, invest in renewables"

Oil consumption is rising at it's fastest rate in over a decade. This was a record year for auto sales in North America - and it wasn't electric cars they were selling.

The oil meme is far from gone.

>>1028745
Sorry that was meant for the guy below you that said oil was done.

Personally I think oil going higher is a good long term bet, eventually we will have some sort of geopolitical crisis in the ME that will cause a jump upwards. However you have to be careful about investing in oil companies because long term they may have trouble with the large amounts of debt they are in, I'm waiting on the sidelines for a good deal on a large oil company with comparatively low debt and a decent dividend.

The problem is the Saudis are going after EVERYONE, not just Iran and the US. They don't expect oil prices to go over $60 a barrel before 2030, so you've got 14 years before oil prices go up. If you are willing to wait, wait until summer to see how things work out. The Saudis are raising gas prices for the first time ever, Russia and Venezuela are basically in full blown recessions but no one wants to say it, and US oil producers are starting to go under. It's all a waiting game at this point to see who is going to blink first.

what was briefed about oil supply should stablize by 2017, and 2018 the oversupply will be used up.

Well this is exactly the opposite scenario.

Don't waste money trying to predict the next big thing (*cough* bitcoins). Buy and hold shares in a cash generating, dividend paying, historically stable blue chip company.

Think of this time period as like buying bank equities in 2008 when the future looked bleak. Take a risk, bet against the market, and chances are that you will eventually make a good return on your investment.

Short selling their company while they tank the oil industry, so they can buy it back right before they decide to pull the lever again and rake in even more money.

Good strategy for the Saudis. The oil industry is basically rigged by OPEC, sure there's a bit too much supply but Americans will gladly pay $3-4/gallon in gas and overall profits go up even with a decrease in demand (it's not like Americans are driving twice as much now as in 2013.. maybe 10% more).

Just watch the fucking news circling in regards to oil - Saudi and the rest of durka durkastan - I mean OPEC, have pretty much said "we're just gonna pull as much of this shit outta the fucking ground as possible". OPEC's purpose is to put out it's Western competitors like BP and the US's oil companies. In that regard, some of it's own members are going to go out of business as well, and there are going to be only a few nations to compete for oil for a while, making Saudi and other oil-rich nations to have a pretty good monopoly on the oil market. Thing is, a lot of western nations are looking at moving to renewable energy - similar to how oil replaced coal. While you might be able to make some money on a long if you pick the right nation to back (in this regard, seriously, check the fuckin' nation out first, the stability of it, chances of it being attacked by foreigners, do your homework first), you could make a pretty penny. Alternatively, the guy that said go into biotech, is ultimately right. It's going to beat oil out in countries that don't naturally produce it, within the next 30 years or so.

>>1034735
Mate we're already at peak oil, there's not a lot of oil left.
You are wrong.

>>1035163
"Peak oil"? haha. Tell that to the people who are finding oceans of oil under fields that have been producing for almost 100 years. Under the Permian in particular. Don't forget the oil around the Falklands. or, the Malvinas if you're not into the whole British thing. Peak oil is a book selling term like "The Joy of Sex" or "Fellate Yourself to Wealth" (which is a big seller among Bitcoiners).

On the Falklands, that oil is pretty poor quality and only worth extracting at prices 4x the current. That's the thing though. As oil prices rise, new supplies are economically viable and enter, bringing the price down. It looks like we'll keep finding fields for a long time yet.

America is over 16 trillion in debt, saudi arabia can do the same. They can't survive it, and they're sinking their own ship to bring others down, but they're still going to bring others down.

This whole collapse in oil price is drop in demand. Almost none of it is supply related (maybe a little due to US fracking). The main culprit is China rolling over, and that is bad enough. Demographic collapse is only going to worsen. Some of you really need to do your homework before you go lose your ass betting bull on oil.

Morgan Stanley agreed with Goldman Sachs today and said oil is headed for a $20 handle.

The price won't quit falling until about 1million bpd is taken off the market.

It's not all just about cars and energy. The refining of oil is used to get all sorts of different polymers we use commonly in lots of different areas. Take a look around you right now, any number of plastics and other man made synthetics are derived from the refining of crude oil.

It has many, many different uses.

has Iran started to export oil to the west yet?

>>1037060
No. They are still waiting for their sanctions to lift totally and money to clear.

You want nice dividends? Look at Verizon or AT&T. The stock price barely moves, but my .47 a share quarterlys get my dick hard regularly

Once oil drops to a certain point won't there be a big oil buy-up? Why not buy oil at $15-$20/share? Oil would be extremely easy to sell at that price. I see no reason for it to not go back up due to optimistic investing, even if we're moving away from oil as energy. India and other developing countries will still buy all the excess oil if it's super cheap while more developed countries move onto alternative means.

As a Canadian chemical engineer grad, just fucking kill me senpai

This oil war goes back to the 90s when the US created doctrines to take over countries for their natural resources or install puppet regimes. This is to contain Russian and Chinese sphere of influence in the region. China isn't playing ball and they're just taking their oil from the South China Sea and buying gas from the Russians. This is all one big geopolitical dickwaving contest. Everyone is expendable.

I remember years ago my dad said the West would be the one's laughing when the Saudi's run out of oil and want our water. Well, it doesn't look like they'll run out of oil but they'll run out of the money they earn from oil sooner enough.

You're right, it's real bad news for the OPEC countries because their economies are totally based on oil. And countries that base their income off one good are very volatile and are constantly in a precarious spot.

Did you read about what RBS and other bank analysts are saying? That oil prices might go down to 16$ a barrel this year. If they do, that's bad news for Russia especially.

History is repeating itself. The US put a trade embargo on japan, leading to Japan militarisation, pearl harbour and then war.

>>1039202
Okay let's clear this up:

1. War between Russia and civilized world is extremely unlikely because of nukes

2. If war actually happens, nukes gon' get fired and then it doesn't matter one itsy bit whether you shorted the index or bought buttcoin or whatever.

Because then, if you are unlucky enough to survive, the only thing that will ever matter ever again is edible food.

This is dumb, the largest users of oil in the world are in industries where electricity and hybrid technology aren't even viable and won't be for some time.

There's an over-supply at the moment because global development is immensely slowing down and people are still pumping out shit like crazy.

>>1039857
OPEC can't do shit at the moment. America has the full house with their shale oil reserves. Any government chart will show the projected outputs in American will start to peak in 2018-2020 and begin a very gradual decline by 2025.

>>1039918
bogleheads guide to investing. it's a book. it's pretty good. read others as well, try find the recommended /biz/ book list

Oil is low but petroleum is still expensive (yave you cunts noticed a significant flown on effect reducing the cost)..... no you haven't, look for a company that has lots of petroleum refining capacity. They will be making money and ticking over..... but they will ahve been punished by ignorant cunts who do not examine the PE ratio of the stock.... you have the data right in front of you...

>>1039303
>1. War between Russia and civilized world is extremely unlikely because of nukes

This is a false assumption. It can start as an alliance between Russia and other similar states (post-Soviets and China), which will then be followed by proxy wars, which could gradually spill over and escalate, causing huge damage to each side.

The Russians could annex the Baltics in a few days. Who would stop them? The US wouldn't dare to, as it knows that this could lead to a thermonuclear war. The EU wouldn't dare to, as its nuclear arsenal is virtually non-existent, and any serious retaliation would lead to a nuclear strike.

>>1026963

No.

>>1039925
Plus nukes would be a bargaining chip for both countries. They would engage in proxy wars, which they're already doing just look at Syria and Ukraine.

Oil will be at $16 at some moment in this year. Short it.

>>1039918

honestly I found the best way to get started was to just pick a stock and invest in it.

if oil reaches 10 dollars or less then we are all fucked.

Oil can't be produced at those levels so it could never get done that low unless it was artifical or trading related.

>>1042130

Ding ding. Nearly every nation's oil storage facilities are filling up, but oil nations need to keep producing to keep their GDP up. Artificial costs are the name of the game, and that's why you should be buying in starting now and continuing for 5 years.

I think that would be dumb. I am one and while it has been great it's only just really set in that my fate is tied to the price of oil so much. Even if I'm a great employee I can still get let go easily. It's a shitty way to live, me and most of my co workers are afraid to take out a mortgage despite making six figs. Also realize the pay is high because the risk is high. I know several guys who graduated with decent grades at high oil prices who still couldn't get jobs. You're much better off going civil or something and just try to get an oil job later if that's possible. Fuck the CEO of Exxon is a civil engineer it can't be that much of a handicap.

Believe what you want.

>>1042602
compare this to other countries with similar size like China. Also compare this to the US in the past. there has been a major decline. There is no longer as much production in the US. No real wealth being created, only the Federal Reserve printing money.

>>1042607
Compared to when. The 1950's was 60yrs ago.
You can't do a comparison like you say easily. China and the US are still number one and two with GDP. 18% of our GDP is a lot! Most countries would love to be 18% of our GDP.

>GDP is really a poor measure of how well an economy is doing. GDP and the unemployment rate are Keynesians favourite indicators of measuring an economy's performance. Remember GDP is consumption + investment +gov spending + net exports

Emphasis on the 'government spending' part. How much money a government prints and spends really shouldnt be taken into account when talking about how well a country's economy is.

You have to look at manufacturing orders and sales, both have been on the decline. These are orders and sales between businesses. Not between government and businesses.

>>1039457
Maybe in 1000 years.

The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones tho..

>>1042632
You should look into more on how GDP is calculated. That stuff like you say is factored out. Besides t is fair when every country is given the same metric in calculating. Apples to apples.

Canadian here. Our oil is the cheapest in the world now. Most of the production costs were all up front so the pipes will keep flowing for awhile longer.

I think someone pointed out that the over supply is only a little bit more than demand right now. Jesus christ I wish someone would cave in soon and help bring that supply down. The price will rubber band so hard the other way it'll make our heads spin.

And can some other Canadians explain to me the Canadian Oil Sands rejecting the Suncor bid? Seemed like a sweet deal.

The great war in fallout makes more sense if trump wins.

You have to remember:

1) Things like Oil will always be in demand. Plastics, fuel, etc. Oil will always be required.
2) Oil is selling below the cost that it is produced. This is unsustainable. The price HAS to go up.
3) The question isn't if you will make money on oil. You will 100% make money on oil. The question is when. Are you willing to double or triple your money in 5 years? If so, go big on oil.

I am full buy on energy/oil right now. This will easily push me into the millionaire club in 5 years. You have to be an idiot not to have a large portion of your investments in something as guaranteed as oil that is so cheap.

>>1042878
>Oil is selling below the cost that it is produced
SA can produce for 8 bucks. Even US shale can probably produce under 40 now.

>>1042893
>SA can produce for 8 bucks
I've heard higher. Either way the Saudi budget can't sustain oil at that price.

>>1042907
Russia is the country people should be looking at. It produces basically the same amount of oil as Saudi. It is burning through its cash reserves faster. It was already in recession. It is fighting multiple wars.

Oil is finite. Production will drop and demand will increase again in the next few years. We are still a ways off from replacing oil as our main fuel source. Meanwhile population continues to grow as will need for oil.

This will easily climb over 50 again. Invest now or see if you can get in at 20 if it reaches that low. Let the doomsdayers circlejerk for a year and laugh in 5 when you roiling in that oil money.

Anyone who thinks oil won't bounce back has both no proof and most likely no understanding of the markets or oil situation.

Panickers will get fleeced, have to be patient.
