It's just a little geopolitical Christmas present.

The old joke - what's the best price of oil for OPEC? $100, $100, $100, $50, $100.

When the price drops to $50 it kills all of the speculative drilling and investment in alternative energy, and then OPEC raises the price back and ensures they stay relevant.

The low oil price also punishes a variety of political enemies - Russia, ISIS, Iran, and a couple of South American countries.

The low price won't last, but it's nice for a while and plays into a number of political battles.

Wonder what the play is there. How long will gas prices stay this low? And how low will they go? Saudi Arabia is in the drivers seat for now. Russia and a few of the OPEC nations are getting it in the shorts.

Someone will blink.  I'm betting that gas will turn around in 3-6 months.

Get a few 55 gallon drums.  That's what we did around 2006.
