About the Book and Topic:
While people complain about the rising gas prices, that is only one aspect of a potentially devastating problem. The necessities and comforts of daily life from airplanes, car travel, electric lighting, national defense, etc. are in jeopardy because of the worldwide decline in oil and gas production. There is simply less oil and some experts say that there will be no new supplies in the next 20 years. This book will offer an overview of the problem along with a picture of how life will change as a result of these shortages. The book will also offer investment suggestions for those who want to make an investment in energy–whether it be in an ETF, energy futures or hedge fund.
If the 90s were the decade of technology, the new century is one of the oil boom. Oil majors such as Exxon Mobile, BP and Valero have displaced Microsoft, AOL Time Warner and General Electric from the high table of capitalism. The oil boom is coming at a time when we are approaching the peak of oil production. Instead of mourning the loss of oil and rising gas prices, investors should embrace it in the years ahead, as oil stocks are doing so well that market analysts discount any possibility of a meltdown. Wall Street has re-rated the oil sector, suggesting this rally has staying power.
IMPORTANT TOPIC: Most investors don’t understand this market. This book will provide understandable analysis of the falling production/rising demand and how oil companies/investment banks are trying to cash in–but will also provide investors an approach to getting a piece of the pie.
