    1. The heavy, sour crude from Venezuela and elsewhere needs about $60 per barrel to break even.

      This is literally just a distraction from the Epstein Files, which were supposed to be released on Dec 19. As of now, only 1% has been released.

      This issue has ‘ waited’ for years. Funny it has to happen at this very convenient time.

    3. The cut-off limit for the oil companies to be profitable is around $50 a barrel. By my limited knowledge on the Oil and Gas business, this would be bad for them. There is no way CVX or XOM would support this.
