I try, I really, really try, to follow the markets and read as much as I can. I try so very hard to understand what the so-called experts are saying. I have to conclude that, in the grand scheme of things, this is just that-a scheme! Demand is in

Stockmarket Madness Is Enough To Drive Us All Crazy

Mike Hendren — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:02:27 +0000

I don’t understand all aspects of the markets. I admit that. But even a couple of insiders and experts I’ve talked to recently are rubbing their heads and saying the same thing. This is all very, very confusing

Oil Patch Looks Active, But Will Our Leadership Do What's Right?

Mike Hendren — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:33:13 +0000

I took a drive into Wilbarger County over the past weekend and what I saw was impressive. I saw acres of pump jacks working just as hard as they could. Obviously, oil at $95 per barrel is attractive enough to the producers to warrant running those pump jacks

I Must Defend Myself…I Guess

Mike Hendren — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:00:31 +0000

I have been accused just recently of not knowing "what the hell I am talking about". I ran into a listener yesterday who said those very words. Now, full disclosure here, I've known this person for 20 years

Don't Buy The Hype

Mike Hendren — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 15:57:25 +0000

And it's really just that, you know. Hype. I've said it before and I say it again. I don't care what product or commodity you are talking about, but it's never been more so than with oil. Once you have allowed something to become over-inflated the market will make adjustments and the price will tumble

Mike Hendren — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:25:33 +0000

You'd think we'd have learned something from the summer of 2008. I guess not. Here we go again. Oil flirting with $100 per barrel.

Oil Headed To $100 Per Bbl?

Mike Hendren — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:41:51 +0000

This is the headline. $100 + per barrel. No joke. Again, $100 + per barrel. Anyone remeber the summer of '08? A friend of mine out of state who happens to run his own trucking company called me just about the time diesel broke the unthinkable $5 per gallon mark. I can't write exactly what he said.
