Oil has always been about boom and bust. This boom looked like it would never end. We will see.

The oil business has been boom-and-bust since Oil Creek.

Google the word "Pithole" if you want to see what I mean.

Watch Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy in Boom Town to see what I mean.

Also in Boom Town you get to see Hedy Lamarr at her best.
