Can’t Deny It Dec 10, 2024

Show notes

Chuck chats with the GOAT oil research analyst Doug Terreson about his new book Can’t Deny It, recounting his days at Schlumberger, Morgan Stanley and Evercore ISI. Doug made three of the greatest calls in the energy business if not all investing. “Era of The Super Majors”, “The Golden Age of Refining” and “The Pledge” are amazing stories of doing the fundamental research and bucking the Wall Street consensus. And of course he begged the oil price collapse in 2008 when the rest of Wall Street was predicting $200 oil. This is a must listen for any investor.

Crude Tensions: the Missing Israel - Iran Risk Premium Dec 05, 2024

Show notes

James Kostohyrz argues there’s a real chance that Israel and Iran are going to war. Like bombs and missiles. Real war. If so, what’s Iran’s first move? Shut down the Strait of Hormuz and immediately block 20% of the world’s oil production. Oh crap. What would that mean for oil prices? It’s a scary yet possible scenario we are facing. Horrifying with huge ramifications for oil prices. James argues it’s not priced into today’s crude prices.
