Member Services 888.384.8339 Write to Us Oil Markets The profitable volatility we've seen should give way to more "traditional" ways of making money in crude... How We've Been Profiting on Oil's Wild Moves Crude's whipsaw "roller-coaster ride" won't last forever By Dr. Kent Moors, Global Energy Strategist, Money Morning Government shutdowns, geopolitical angst, protracted instability inside the Beltway, and outright market manipulation are combining to make this a profoundly volatile, unsettling time. On Wednesday, for instance, both West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the benchmark crude rate set in New York, and Brent, the more widely used oil trading standard set in London, spiked ferociously - more than for any one session in well over a decade. WTI ended trading up by 8.7%; Brent by 8%. With these spikes coming after historic price declines, everyone in the media is now looking for the oil price "floor" that can enable steadier upward moves. I don't expect that floor to be a factor until into 2019. Year-end tax sales, low holiday volume, and institutional portfolio adjustments mean any floor, if it shows up, probably won't register until January. And yet, these kinds of violent swings can be remarkably profitable. Late last week, my Energy Inner Circle readers following along got the chance to close out a 1,000% profit on a Brent "straddle" - a call and a put expiring on the same date at different strike prices - that saw us play the "up" and the "down." There are three things in play right now obscuring the "floor" and keeping crude prices untamable, but that will ultimately give way to a much smoother, upward price trend... Full Story The Long View The Three Big Things to Take into 2019 No matter where you look, you seem to see bad, or at least challenging conditions. And yet... There are always going to be challenges; there will always be underwhelming or outright scary headlines. But we've never had a problem looking beyond those to the market's juiciest opportunities. What's more, whether the market moves up, down, sideways, or anywhere in between, it just doesn't matter. We'll stick to the time-tested, proven Total Wealth approach: playing the six Unstoppable Trends, picking our moves carefully, and building a fortune along the way. And last but by no means least: This volatility that has Wall Street and the media over a barrel is nothing for us to fear. In fact, I welcome it.
