I won't watch CNBC in the a.m. but clearly Joe Kernen will win any debate he might have with Andrew Ross Sorkin over energy tomorrow morning. And, just last week Jim Cramer said "oil is a perma-bear." That doesn't make sense, of course, but the "sentiment" is obvious. What a doofus.
Of course, the big story last week was the huge position Warren Buffett had taken in OXY, following his other big build in CVX.
Time to see if PXD CEO is correct when he said even $200-oil would not encourage US shale to drill.
Original Post
