"Now even the oil companies don't want to go into Venezuela due to all the instability [caused by the ousting of Maduro]...how is that a success??!!"

Exxon CEO Darren Woods informed Trump that Venezuela must amend its laws to become a viable investment opportunity. In response, Trump stated that he would "likely be inclined" to exclude the U.S. oil corporation Exxon Mobil from Venezuela. Summary: Trump being Trump

There is no reason to be overly concerned, I believe; the United States has finalized its initial oil sales from Venezuela, amounting to $500 million, with the proceeds being directed to a bank in Qatar.

This makes sense, as Qatar gifted Trump a jet.

Assuming the 0range p3d0 has "business skills" he should subsidize small and microcap O&G companies and buy call options on them

Could easily be a 500-1000% return in a short period of time

Let me do some investigation. I believe he proposed tax payer funding as well.

Reason for small / microcaps is far greater volatility allowing for massive gains (much faster than the likes of Exxon, Valero, Phillips 66, etc.) but I assume you and the 0range ped0 already know that 

It is probable the orange ped0 hasn't acted because crude oil is in a bear market and won't respond even to "favorable" news till this economic cycle completes with a market crash

(I'm expecting $7+/gallon at the pump after the next round of QE and "stimulus" which follows market crashes. QE right now would be ineffective since long term inter3st rates are high and the Fed is becoming increasingly hostile to further rate cut$)

IIRC oil is one of the last commodities to go vertical and we haven't seen that. [Oil was the primary commodity laggard in the 2020-2022 commodity boom. I believe oil should outperform almost all other sectors once it finds a bottom in a few years]

Once oil skyrockets in the early 2030s, the Fed will be forced to tighten and this will usher in the 2nd Great Depression, assuming we are not already in a terrible war scenario that hinders the consumer economy. That's my macroeconomic cycle hypothesis.

Kyle is cranking them out..  But he's usually a little late on the scenes for me.  By the time he discusses a subject it's already ancient news.

MAGA is wigging out... Nick Fuentes should commit himself to a mental health service..  Maybe the Alex Jones Institute for Criminal Minds.

Biden admin  derailed green energy  for COVID Recovery.  Joe played a dirty trick greenlighting expansion to 50 Megatons a year of LNG production and then changing his mind back to the 28 MT only. A lot of investement went into it and it sits on ice.

Dinosaur Shyt may be a good way to get energy, but it is pouring carbon into the atmosphere.  It makes sense money would chase energy.. energy creates value.
