 The reason it will shut down is from the overall cost it takes to get the oil. Read an interesting article on the shale deposits.mrussel1 said:

 unless you are thinking of retiring in the next few years you shouldn't worry about it. it will come back. I had lost something like 60% in the year or so after 9/11 if I recall correctly. it came back huge in the last Obama years and has been steady under fuck face. I'm probably a decade away from retiring so i try not to worry about it. check my statement each quarter and put it to the back of my mind.CM189191 said:this morning ought to be fun
 how much more will my 401k lose?
 I'm more concerned how the virus is going to affect businesses and jobs. any kind of city shutdowns in the country will have seriously effects on middle and lower class workers paychecks and jobs. the unknown in that is a bit scary right now.0

 Right now we have a supply side problem. Dropping the interest rates don't do much to restart Chinese factories or get the international shipping going. Eventually it will turn into demand side, after jobs have been lost and discretionary spending goes down. But for now, stimulus and interest rates will do little.tempo_n_groove said:

 I seriously can't ee the interest rates ever being high again to tell you the truth.
 Since we had this huge upswing the interest rates were raised once? I may be wrong about that but don't recall it.0

 I agree with both of you about the last round of tax cuts. It clearly was to help the rich get richer and the economy did not need that but wit doing so well hardly anyone yelled boo.Halifax2TheMax said:

 No, I think it was raised more than once in some of those years. I don't know how to find that data precisely, but they were definitely raised in those calendar years. Here's a chart of the fed funds overnight rate. Interesting to see the late 70's and trying to manage the inflation, which turned into staflation. https://www.macrotrends.net/2015/fed-funds-rate-historical-charttempo_n_groove said:

 That is why I said Russia would like that. Russia has been known to want to get the dollar of oil trading and to see our economy and oil producing fail.mrussel1 said:

            Peter Tertzakian: This crude war is about a lot more than oil prices and market shareFor oil companies that didn’t take precautions after the last price war, this one is likely to be deadlyThe coronavirus preys on the old and frail. Price wars kill off the weak too, in a corporate sense. Both scourges are ravaging the global oil and gas business, with little visibility on how or when things will be resolved. Market death. That’s what happens to weak companies that succumb to low product prices. The Russians know this, which is why they pulled the “plus” out of the OPEC+ last week. By breaking rank from the price-protecting cartel, they signalled intent to take down their nemesis: the American oil and gas industry. I can envisage Vladimir Putin opening his desk drawer and pulling out his specially embossed copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. To Russia, this price war is more than just about regaining market share for oil; it’s about assaulting the Western economy, especially America’s The Saudis, reportedly angered by the Russian move, pulled their own quotation out of Tzu’s battle notes: “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” So now, instead of offering any production cuts, two of the three largest oil-producing countries are flooding the market. Already, a barrel of oil is selling for less than a bottle of black-market hand sanitizer.
