I grew up with three news magazines: Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report. The first was always the most liberal. I always felt Newsweek was most balanced, and US News too conservative, even by my standards. Over time, either they have changed, or I have changed. Time is still the most liberal, but I can't tell the difference between Time and Newsweek any more. Most interesting to me: US News is almost as liberal as the other two. Having said that, I've always enjoyed and trusted its editor, Mort Zuckerman, even though on television talk shows he is often too liberal for my tastes, especially when I catch him on "Morning Joe."
His three-page op-ed piece this week is superb, and I would hope everyone reads it.
My concern is that at some point some rogue nation will really test Obama if Mort's views are accurate. If Obama fails the test, the price of oil will skyrocket. But that won't be good news for any of us, even those of us who are heavily invested in oil.
You reference to the article in US News and World Report is one view---You seem to only link right wing stuff on your website--I could send you links to alternative opinions if you would be willing to provide a link for readers. I understand it is your blog and you have the right to link anything you want. Thanks for you reporting on Oasis-- I went ahead and purchased some shares on Thursday. Hope Oasis becomes a solid company in the Bakken. dholmen
ReplyDeleteI think one could do well with almost any company in the Bakken, some better than others. The general trend in price of oil, I think, is up. In addition, most "Bakken" companies are being valued for their Middle Bakken and TFS plays only; they may have much more.
ReplyDeleteFor a small company, Oasis is starting out strong with four rigs of its own, if I am not mistaken. It had a great first day.
