Profit from the coming oil boom

Dear Reader, The oil rebound is a dead cert – the only question is when… Last week’s sudden explosion of violence in Yemen shows just how sensitive the oil price is to the slightest shock. After a coalition led by Saudi Arabia launched air strikes against Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen on Thursday, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude jumped more than 6%, while Brent was up 5% in just a few hours.But the truth is, last week’s events are a distraction from what’s really going on in the oil industry. Let me explain.The world has never spent more on developing new oil supplies as it did in 2013 – around $700bn. And yet we have never found less of the stuff – replacing only 4.5 months’ worth of production.Shell recently announced that it only replaced a quarter of its production in 2014. Other big oil firms have been saying similar things.Now that the oil majors have all announced cuts in their exploration and production spending, this means that at some point the world is going to start running low again. It’s just simple supply and demand. Think about it. Last year they spent record amounts and only found enough new supplies to replace four and a half months of current production. So if they’re all cutting their budgets this year, common sense suggests they’re going to find even less.And when this supply crunch starts to bite, make no mistake: oil will skyrocket. That’s my view, and that of my Fleet Street Letter colleague David Stevenson. We’ve spent months wading through the wreckage of the oil crash, seeking out the best ways to make money. David in particular has studied scores of balance sheets, production figures, drill reports, supply and demand ratios – the lot.And we've boiled all that down into exactly what you need to do right now.Forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future results This could well be the most obvious investment opportunity of the year – if not the entire decade.

Where did that come from cyril ? not from Malcy's ?

Shell bid for BG,brings an earlier post to mind,on how they saw the future of the industry,including the price of oil?

My first go into this bear pit called AFREN.

3.26p last week.

slowly slowly catchy monkey.,.

I can't see us catching any monkeys Bb , iv'e been in and out of other oilers trying to overturn this loss.

jimmy b

Fleet street letter , they like big headlines for their news sheets to get punters to subscribe.

Jimmy, i think were your are going wrong is sticking to oil stocks, to get your lost money back. Put your money into a sector thats full of M&A and deals like Telecom/media, am very bullish of ITV

I think it's that point of no return that you get too in a declining share...... I know it well. hang in there jimmy.,.

I'm not going wrong aldwickk ,i have done well trading oil stocks (got me back about 50% of my losses here) and i have not just stuck to them ,however there have been some good gains to be had over the last couple of months ..

Balerboy i am well hung !!!

(:>O)

sorry chaps, but i cannot see that AFR makes a good investment even at these pathetic levels

though the company has "producing assets", there is so much stinking manure and skeletons remaining, that it is nigh on impossible to see any predator taking a serious interest

buy 1,000 shares for a laugh if you must :-)

though i take it you don't actually disagree with my summation :-)

If we didn't ,we do now as you have been here 4 million times to tell us .

I'm not expecting anything here except this will offset some gains this year for tax .

i only posted in the light of shell's acquisition of bg and how other companies might well be actual or realistically perceived targets

I think your right ,i'm liking some oil stocks ,waiting for another drop now .

Buy a 1,000 AFR shares @ 3.4p not the best advice you've given cynic, £34 worth of shares + dealing costs, you are having a laugh but I doubt jimmy b would if he took your advice.

AMER is one to note, sp has fallen on the back of the oil price and the company cutting back. They still have plenty of oil to extract, just awaiting more favourable conditions. I do hold AMER.

GEORGE ,cynics so tight £34 is the most he spends :)

i've even spent more on bottles of wine :-)

of course, i should have written 10,000 AFR shares, but it's kept you all amused
