My oil related stocks have been in the dumper for years. I bought them knowing they were in place for hedge purposes only, like Gold. Now both are screaming.

Dem voters are still backing Biden in polls-—if true.

Hey, stupid, do you love Socialism where the elites are happy and the masses pay more for everything (including waiting in long lines like in Soviet days for basic necessities?)

Adjusted for inflation, gasoline is still much cheaper than during Carter era.

I bought a new Equinox and I’m averaging 36mpg. I gave my fancy GMC Sierra to my husband. LOL Now it’s his turn to pump gas!

I’m a very conservative driver and could get 24-26mpg out of that truck even with the big engine. He’ll do good to get 16.

Yep, I bought $30K Marathon Petroleum at $28 some 6 months ago knowing it was a no brainer it was going to go up.....way up.

Hit $62 yesterday.

Wish I had bought $100K.

I bought 18 solar panels and a BMWi3 EV about a year before the election, to hedge my bets in case a Marxist thug got into office.
