Insider Buying Week 8-04-23 Hydrocarbons Make the Modern World Modern

by

Oil and gas have been the best-performing sector in the market for the last couple of weeks. There is much talk about an oil surplus, and economic weakness in China, the world’s largest petroleum consumer.  Analysts are often too deep in the woods to see the trees.  It is true that Opec et al. Russia fiddle with the supply of oil in an attempt to manipulate the price, but it is equally true that every industrialized economy attempts to influence the price, supply, and consumption of the world’s most important commodity.

by

While many investors who have been richly rewarded by owning Boeing Co have seen sharp share price appreciation, I’d say owning Boeing is dead money for now. It will take weeks if not months for the 737 Max to get recertified by the FAA and the reputational hit could take far longer. After listening to American Airlines earnings conference call and Boeing executives, there is some doubt that Boeing is going to reimburse the victims of the Lion’s Air and Ethiopian Airlines for the crashes, it’s absolute certainty that Boeing will reimburse its major US airline customers like American Airlines … Read more
