Week 5: January 28, 2018 -- February 3, 2018

Except for ...

• the Dow plunging 670 points on Friday; 
• a memo vindicating Trump being released;  
• Saudi's foreign exchange reserves rising;  
• US crude oil production hitting ten million bopd;  
• US gasoline demand increasing;  
• Tesla missing delivery goals; 
• a solid employment report; and, 
• several articles suggesting the Bakken is back (here; and, here), 

... it was a very quiet week.
