The price of arrogance.

Suspending disbelief temporarily in order to digest the magnitude of arrogance displayed by MBS and Vladimir Vladimirovich. In a last man standing battle of wills, it would appear both Saudi and Russia are prepared to risk all in a winner-takes-the-least bid to see who is more arrogant and who has superior power. (In this case who has the capacity to destroy the price of oil). Naturally, for consumers this is a boon. However, this is an unsustainable war. Already the strategic reserves are in play and Russia is committed to pumping more oil than ever, at a price that is not even profitable. All to prove a point. This does not please the oil producers of USA or even Norway who cannot possibly make a profit on oil on current margins. Only Saudi can. But not for long.  Frankly, it is a tad depressing (but not surprising) to think the leaders of the world are so arrogant, such is the disadvantage of unconstrained power. Or cheap energy, which ordinarily would be a positive. In the case of a finite resource like oil it is astonishing. Financially, the price war is unsustainable making oil futures are very tempting indeed.

Saudi Arabia is clearly a great ally of Britain and the USA, considering how many weapons we sell to them and how we turn a blind eye to their corruption and backwardness!  Their grotesquely over-the-top cities are Meccas to our nouveau riche salespeople :D

Or, they work in tandem to rid the world of a competitor. 

I 100% agree.

Is this Russia vs Saudi or both of them vs US shale.

Shale has some bad characteristics: It is more costly than other markets. There is a lot of debt in the companies. When the pumping starts it produces a lot of product very quickly and floods the market, before tailing off.

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
