Venezuela Oil Prices Crashes To 2004 Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Putting the 'mad' in Maduro. Venezuela's heavy crude oil price just crashed almost 9% to $31.24... its lowest since December 2004. Time for another 'swap' with China?

Like I've been saying, the CIA doesn't need to fuck Venezuela up, they are completely self-fucking. I do think we need to do like Seward did with Alaska and offer them 4 cents an acre......

Why anybody would bet that something would stay higher than 5x the long term average is beyond me.

Also betting that somehow Amazon will be able to represent 100% of the consumer economy in the USA to justify its valuation.

Everything eventually reverts to the mean.

Amazon would at today's price still be 100 times earnings if that were so.

The stock will explode higher when they offer politicians on their site.  What's in your cart?  I mean, Who's in your cart?

 

Ooooh look, I can get the governor of Illinois at a discount this month, if I sign up for a Prime account.

Surely you're not telling us oil prices were manipulated upwards over the last seven years to make Gaaarrreeen! energy look cheaper & viable in comparison?

Shirley you jest!

Why...whatever could this portend in other areas also manipulated upwards without any real underlying cause?

It hasn't "just crashed".  It's traded at about a $10 discount to Brent since forever.  It's following the oil market down in lock step.  And taking the economy down the toilet with it.  I'm worried for their people.

correct me if I am wrong - but isn't Venezuela crude filled with all kinds of chemical muck that screws up refineries?  Hence their oil always trades at a lowr cost.

Agree with you about one thing ... the Venezuelan people are screwed here.  That's really sad.

The Economic War is doing a huge amount of damage to Venezuela, Iran and Russia.

Are we really going to make it to Christmas?  Beats me ... toss a coin.
