If the price of oil drops much more, that knucklehead Maduro better be looking for a pretty quick exit strategy. Else he’ll be hanging from a light post.
A lot of people have bet the farm on the price continuing to go up (in other words, they bet on the "Hubbard peak oil" theory).
A lot of those bets were made years ago.
It will be fun to watch those bets come unsprung over the next few years.
