Elliott Gue

You've probably heard the story about the Federal Reserve and the Great Inflation of the 1970s. Specifically, we're told the Burns Fed failed to tighten enough to quash inflation in the 1973-75 recession while the Volcker Fed's more forceful and persistent efforts finally slayed the inflation beast in the early '80s. The only problem is that's not how it works -- the Federal Reserve has little or no influence over oil, energy, and commodity prices, a key source of inflation then and now. In this presentation, Elliott will explain the real forces that drive the oil and commodity price cycles and the powerful force that actually brought an end to the oil price surge through the 1970s. He'll also explain how "green energy" policies pursued by governments the world over dramatically worsened the current cycle, delaying key adjustments that could bring down energy costs dramatically over the next few years. He'll detail specific stock and ETF investments to profit from the current energy and inflation supercycle. 

The past 18 months have been a wild ride for the energy market with oil trading over $100/bbl and under $70/bbl and US natural gas prices reaching 10+ year highs in the summer of 2022 only to crash under $2/MMBtu last spring. A year ago, the US and other developed countries were begging Saudi Arabia and the rest of OPEC for more supply; today the market is obsessed with how much, and for how long, the cartel I willing to restrict production to prop up prices.  In this session, Roger Conrad and Elliott Gue, will cut through all the noise and conflicting narratives about energy commodities and identify a handful of their top energy stocks to buy for 2024.
