Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!!

B.S. Nuclear Engineering from the University of Arizona. Saw students better than I not get jobs in the stagnant US nuclear industry, so I jumped ship and landed in education. I'm now a science and math teacher at a private day school for students with disabilities, usually emotional and learning disabilities.
I had personally been speculating, calculating, and pondering the US energy situation for a couple of decades. When I stumbled upon Matt's Peak Oil site some weeks or months ago, I was shattered with fear that my coffee table personal musings of many years had been consolidated and made real in front of me. It was frightening because I couldn't dispute it; I'd already been agreeing with myself for a long time.
The girlfriend readily accepted PO, which was a huge relief. We're in it together. She's the senior paralegal at her law firm.
We're 33 and 30 with no children, wondering whether we should have some now or after PO.

Eh....22, high school dropout, Electronics Technician's Apprentice diploma from vocational training, did slightly over 2 years at ITT Tech working on my Computers and Electronics Engineering (AS) where I spent over $30k worth of loans but failed in the end and didn't get a degree (go me). At home I'm mostly a jack of all trades. There isn't much that I don't get into...everything from music to physics and astronomy...I've studied it all...
