The biggest story this past week: observing a new phenomenon -- non-governmental strategic petroleum reserves and one of the reserves is in North Dakota. CNBC asked the question but did a lousy job reporting on it; initial post here.
It is interesting that there were three stories this week, very coincidental, that Russia, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia are all burning through their cash reserves. Venezuela has six months; Russia has one year; and, Saudi Arabia, five years.
