It is definitely coming down. I would expect to see some stations in the $2.50 range in the next few weeks. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I just paid $3.49/gal here in Washington. That's down 20 cents from a month ago. |

I think you are wrong about NY. High tax state. Here in suburban Buffalo in the $2.65 range. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Lets have some fun. Lets keep track of Beijing Biden's gift to public, rising gas prices. Low prices are a boon to ride share drivers and truck drivers. High prices cut deep into profits. This thread was started in middle of Barry's 2nd term and gas was $4 a gallon here. In 2018 it was down to $2 a gallon and has remained there under Trump. This is from today on Trump's last full day in office. Lets use this thread as a poll for Beijing Biden's short time in office. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The Biden Effect. Oil stocks have taken a beating over the past five years, partly due to fracking which made us energy independent. Price per barrel of oil is up 73% since election day. Shell just boosted their dividend, and the post Covid boom hasn't even started. Good times ahead for Russia, Iran and Venezuela. |

Welllll.... Biden won't let me have access to my China stock, CHU (China Unicom, a Hong Kong based cell phone carrier). I bought it years ago, and now it is illegal for TD to allow me to trade it. So be careful on China. I think your thinking on oil is likely good. Wife had me buy a bunch of lithium stocks as soon as GM and Ford announced that by 2035 they will be all electric. Step daughter had me buy 'green and clean' energy stocks. B in law suggested MJ stocks after Biden won the election. All doing well so far (too short term to really matter). I picked Draft Kings, as I think as soon as NY starts using them they will skyrocket. I do own oil stocks too, as I agree with tanko that short term will do well. |

DK skyrocketed last year. Sadly I ran a covered call strategy so missed the major gain but still made about 30% in a few months. The President is a fink. |
