Chapter 1: A Brief History of Oil Prices
It is striking, if you look back at the past thirty years, how closely changes in oil prices have mirrored both the economy and the stock market. During this period, rising oil prices have always preceded economic downturns and falling stocks.

Chapter 1: Oil, the Economy, and the Stock Market
During the years between 1973 and the turn of the century, while oil prices bounced up and down between a low of around $10 a barrel and a high of near $40, we experienced five recessions and several periods of strong economic growth.



Book Description

IT'S THE OIL, STUPID...

A storm is coming, a turbulent new era in which the planet's supply of oil will be overtaken by demand. Fuel prices will soar and inflation will skyrocket-but with this guide, two leading financial strategists show you how to weather the worst of it, and even capture impressive returns. With the help of the authors' "all season" Oil Indicator, you'll learn how to choose the right investments for any market environment, as you discover:

  • Why oil and natural gas stocks should be core holdings in every investor's portfolio
  • Why a cautious buy-and-hold strategy is a sure money loser
  • Why conventional "safe" stocks are really the riskiest
  • Why gold may be on the verge of a historic bull run
  • How the global oil wars make defense stocks a premium buy
  • Where to find the best bets in the field of alternative energy
  • How to profit from real estate without actually owning any.
