OPEC

Hear on the news this morning that Qatar is leaving OPEC to focus on Natural Gas production.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/03/business/qatar-opec-withdrawal/index.html

Not sure what this means for the future and oil prices.

I'm surprised there isn't an OPEC thread so, now there is.

    They are starting pretty early if the goal is to elect trump.  We will have plenty of time to get used to higher prices by next November...would have been better to maybe wait 6 months prior to the election.

    oil is now low 80's. folks are still sour on the economy. if they can keep inflation up by this, then that reflects poorly on uncle joe.

    this will also overshadow the record high production here....

    going badly for russia in ukraine, cracks developing at home, drone strikes IN moskow..


    not long from now N Korea will flex.
