And while I love cheap gas, it won't stay that way into the summer. Either way, cheap oil will decrease costs for flight, shipping, transport and travel. Plus the tons of petroleum based plastics out there. It boosts the economy all on its own, thereby increasing its own demand. I agree. The same thing could be said about (insert oil company here). The success/failure of oil companies is closely tied to the banks. A while back I brought up the 10 year treasury number and it was dismissed as "not important" but it is. At the time I think it fell to around 1.6% (just a few months ago). Today that number is less than 1% (.75 last time I looked) and fell to less than .3%. This number is important. The more that it falls the "cheaper" mortgage rates are and the "cheaper" it is to borrow money. Businesses rely on borrowing money all the time. I'm not talking about big corporations though they do it as well, I'm talking small businesses and farmers. The problem is that loaning that money at such low rates hurts the bottom line of banks. If//when there are defaults on the loans the banks go under. It's a "domino effect". Some people on here are so quick to want to buy into the cruise lines (specifically Carnival) since it lost so much. I don't see the stock price recovering anytime soon between this "virus" mess as well as what is happening with oil and the banks. One must take the blinders off and look at the big picture. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
