This ad from Stansberry just appeared on Drudge, predicting that the economy will boom in Obama's second term, giving him the leeway to expand his power so far as to enable a third and maybe fourth term. To save you the trouble of watching/listening to the whole video, here's a summary: Obama is in the right place at the right time to take advantage of the forthcoming oil and gas boom due to fracking and horizontal drilling technology. Spindletop (1901) made possible the expansion of presidential power under Teddy Roosevelt. The East Texas field exploited by H.L. Hunt (1934) led to the end of the Great Depression, expanding presidential power under FDR. Today, according to Stansberry, the oil shale boom is even bigger: "20 new Persian Gulf fields right here in the U.S." and "The U.S. will outperform Saudi Arabia by the end of the decade." Chemical companies are now relocating facilities back to the U.S. because of the boom here in natural gas production, and soon in oil production.
This will be a huge gift to the Obama administration, and a huge opportunity for Obama to squeeze political contributions from thousands of productive companies. Shakedown city, leading to American socialism, by the same process that Venezuela's oil wealth led to Hugo Chavez's rise.
The video is an ad for his newsletter, so all the specific investment recommendations are anonymized by Stansberry, but are based on the current gas boom and the near-future oil boom
Goldman Sachs see the U.S. as the leading oil producer by 2017. Good for the U.S., but far better for Obama and the Democratic Party. U.S. will actually strengthen its superpower position. The number of active oil drilling rigs has already gone through the roof. The collapse in natural gas prices will soon be followed by a collapse in oil prices (oil inventories in the U.S. are already at a near-record highs).
Gas is already displacing oil and coal as fuel sources. Using natural gas can save a big-rig trucker almost $20K/year in fuel prices. Switching millions of trucks to natural gas can save over 1 million barrels of oil per day. The market will eventually equalize the price of gas and oil, by increasing exports and consequently increasing prices.
Exports of natural gas will put Obama in the catbird seat, building his personal power around the world (a la Putin and Chavez). Millions of Americans will applaud the extension of Obama's power because they'll be getting more free stuff. Socialism will gain even more favor, leading to a third term for Obama.
Investment advice: you can make money by investing in natural gas and oil. We can't avoid socialism: almost everyone will soon be feeding at the government trough. But you can make money through private enterprise, by investing in the tool-makers and the infrastructure needed to get oil and gas to market (as in the past, Britain and Royal Dutch Shell profited from the discovery of oil in Indonesia by building the Suez Canal.) We need a huge investment in LNG terminals and tankers. Stansberry recommends an unnamed shipping company as a "sure thing" and another unnamed company that is the only company that is building LNG terminals for operation in the near future. Obama will decide who gets the license to operate the terminal, when he gets good and ready -- i.e., when the political donations are large enough.
A third way to make money: invest in an electric company who will soon see much lower energy prices, hence much larger profits. 900 of the next 1000 power plants will be natural gas rather than coal.
A fourth way: invest in the takeover of an Israeli offshore natural gas producer (ATP Oil and Gas, ATPG) who is still undervalued, because the company is bankrupt. But buy the assets, not the company, for pennies on the dollars, by buying the company's bonds as "distressed debt".
A fifth way: huge new (35 billion barrel) "secret" shale oil play.
One report is called "Global Oil Value Monitor", and shows valuation analysis for all the companies Stansberry is tracking, with a focus on assets, not stocks. The decline in oil prices will hurt stock prices, so buy "huge tracts of land" with oil and gas under them.

That’s what I was thinking. What coming boom in oil and gas? Obama intends to destroy America’s most plentiful energy resources in favor of wind and solar.
You got it, after this one, he’ll serve 2 more by the name, Barry Soetoro.
There’s a “boom” coming alright
just Google "Green River Formation" check out the US Geological survey report
3 trillion barrels of oil...equal to the worlds total known reserves....1 trillion barrels recoverable with current technology.

Can’t be both.
“A civil war will ensue if he ain’t out in 4. I might start it myself.”
You might get your wish.
"Aye Caesar, but not gone."
An improbable economic boom would put Zero in the running for Anti Christ - it’s predicted that the end times will be preceded by a period of prosperity and peace. While I think he is one of Satan’s minions, I believe he is the one who precedes the Anti Christ because there seems to be no way there will be real peace for Israel (and the world) with his policies. The one who “turns things around” after him is more likely to be the real deal.
There was no 22nd Amendment when FDR got a 3rd term.
Nobama will have to throw out the Constitution to get any more than 8 years. Not saying he may not try, just saying lots of patriotic Americans will be standing in the way and if somehow he gets around the 22nd, that will give free rein for Texas and other States to ignore the secession restriction and let the libs and their ComeYets eat cake.
Not to worry, the EPA will falsify some evidence, find a friendly (corrupt) federal court, and stop fracking cold. If the pubbies had won the ideas promulgated by the article would have come to fruition. Now, not until the marxists are thrown out of office.
I agree.
Not to mention that Joe Biden wants to run in 2016. And Hillary, though I’m sure she could be Petraeus’ed before then.
Stupid me. I hadn’t thought that BOTH could happen; Stock market crash AND 0bama 3rd term. It very well could happen. My apologies.
The way this is going, they can be Prez of the 8 United States left, for as long as they want. The rest will be re-forming and fully recognizing the original Constitution.
How long nobama or biteme can be Prez more depends on how soon the ComeYets starve or freeze without very much oil and gas or national income.
I’m going with the suggestion that Michelle Antoinette will conduct Barack’s third term. Although it wouldn’t require overriding the Constitution, it’s equally scary. Perhaps by then, however, she will have had enough multimillion dollar vacations, and will just hang up her Goodyear-brand boob belts.
What are they going to do now with that mansion in Hawaii?
The Constitution did not limit Presidential terms until it was amended in response to FDR.
Add me to this ping list please.
Welcome aboard. It’s mostly politics, with some (very little) goof-off stuff to lighten things up. *Heavy* ping volume. Not as heavy lately. Enjoy.
