Forget Dollars, Start Buying Rubles

[ConservativeMind]

It is always good for our economy when oil prices are lowered. Everyone will have decreased costs and more money to spend elsewhere. It does decrease the economic outlook for all companies in the near term only due to the fact that income will shoot downward for a time due to oil’s price deflating what people will now spend for the same good (per each company).

In the mid to long term, the economy bounces higher and more jobs migrate to the U.S. from China.

What about looking at buying stock in refineries or oil companies like marathon that should see their refining side of business offset some of their production side losses. Shouldn’t lower oil cost help profits somewhat on the refining side?
