I’m not buying Oil on the sound of cannons

June 13, 2025 Leave a comment

Why y’all chasing the oil price now?…….It’s too late.

West Texas Intermediate and Brent Crude touched below $55 and $58 respectively, on 2 occasions in April and May 2025.

Today, somebody (hedge funds, oil traders, corporate treasury, speculators) paid $78. The odds (and probability) of being long oil have changed.

Today’s price action is clogged up in Israel’s attack on Iran.

The time for preparedness of entering the long oil trade was around these dates when I wrote about it;

“I need to respect the rising probability of $55 on WTI Crude.”

Oil is moving into new territory

April 15, 2025

“It could coincide with #Brent Crude trading down to $58.”

Still waiting for lower oil prices and their proxies

May 8, 2025

“The prices of the 3 stocks mentioned (BP, Woodside and Occidental) recently all touched the prices mentioned in that September 4, 2024 note.”

Oil stocks have fallen, now what?

Let’s wait until next time, for a new moment to buy Oil.

Watch the signals, not the headlines

May 7, 2025 Leave a comment

Today I was giving some presentations in the big smoke.

I was espousing the thesis of “trading the signals, not the headlines”.

Under the category of “when you think you know capital markets”, I used these 2 examples of how perverse things can become…..

but it helps to use the signals and not the headlines and certainly not “the narrative”.

One year ago today, I disagreed when the former CEO of #Shell suggested the #SHEL stock price was undervalued.

Shell – wrong call at wrong time

My timing seems to be off by 6 months, but I still think that the price of Shell will trade down to GBP 21.70 area ‘soon’.

It could coincide with #Brent Crude trading down to $58.

#Oil has traded to $64, as per

Just broken $61.75, as per

and made a new ‘lower low’,

I need to respect the rising probability of $55 on WTI #Crude.

And all of what that means for oil related securities and assets.

WTI Crude Oil is in a 6 week losing streak and it’s just commencing a medium term down trend.

It needs to hold $64.75, otherwise I’ll look for a visit to $62.

Pragmatic energy

December 13, 2024 Leave a comment

If there was money to be made by providing renewable #energy, #ExxonMobil would be trying.

Not once, within #XOM‘s 57 page “Plan 2030” document, do the words “solar”, “wind”, “hydropower” or “geothermal” appear.

In fact, ExxonMobil plans to increase oil and gas output by 18% within the next 5 years.

The setup for the oil price isn’t looking healthy.

A saving grace is that the strength of the current downtrend remains weak.

I’ve been writing about preparing to go long oil and oil related assets or securities….but still not yet.

The link to my note from October 29, 2024 mentions price levels that I am watching.

One thing to watch is whether WTI Crude makes a new ‘lower low’.

Oil falling 33% further makes it interesting

Long oil is creeping closer

December 3, 2024 Leave a comment

I’m revising my entry price for SHEL.L higher than the 2170p level suggested in this April 2024 note….to 2390p

Shell – wrong call at wrong time

p.s. I haven’t had an oil related ‘long’ for 3 years but I’m preparing for it.

Dearth of rigs operating means…..

November 28, 2024 Leave a comment

Currently, the #oil & #gas industry has the least amount of rigs in operation since February 2016.

(not withstanding the 2020 supply shock)

I have circled those moments in the attached #Brent #Crude price chart.

Watching Oil prices

September 19, 2024 Leave a comment

Last week WTI Crude #Oil traded down to $64.04.

I’ve been calling $64 for sometime as its first stop.

What if Oil prices halved?
pondering ‘what if’ lower oil prices

While its downtrend needs to be respected for now, it is not yet exhibiting the required strength to send it lower.

No action for now.

Pause and Watching before I call $46.
