Just curious — is East Asia being rocked by what is happening in Ukraine? Or are they just anticipating what is going to happen in Taiwan?

Watch the US stock markets start off down, then end up flat or up for the day tomorrow. For no damn good reason other than people not part of the elite are being played.

$124 WTI. $128 Brent. Oil was around 80 early Feb.

That is up 50%+ in a month. And up 100%+ in a year.

Brandon Plan costs a lot

Just remember two years ago we had more oil than places to put it. Oil prices went negative.
