The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And, as he openly said last night, he has seized control of Venezuela's oil, so he has even more oil to profiteer off of.

And this board was convinced that no one would want to bother to invest in Venezuela. How's that prediction going to hold up?

Not very well.


Oil was $55 a barrel back then, and it was Enron's CEO that called Venezuela's oil uninvestible. Now in the magnificent Trumpian chaos, oil is $110 a barrel and Venezuela needed $80 a barrel to be profitable. If I recall correctly... Trump is letting Iranian tankers through to China, and wants China to buy Vz crude. Iran and Russia can nowturn up the spigots and convert that into arms against Israel and Ukraine. Trump still has no area on Gaza shores for Trump resorts. Bondi is fired, so we'll another blonde for AG soon. Korea is testing engines that will get their nukes to the USA. All's right with the Trumpian world, MAGA should be happy, except the ones getting hurt by Trump's follies.
