MORE OIL TALK IN TIMES OF LESS OIL

Dear Readers:

First, the Author would like to thank you for visiting the trifle that is the Desert of the Real Economic Analysis Blog. The Author has, with some down periods because of work, sloth, decrepitude and other reasons, been writing this blog for almost three years, an eternity in Moore's Law Years.

The blog started as an investment, economics and finance blog supplementing the Author's Desert of the Real Investment Newsletter. The Investment Letter was subsumed by the blog, however.

The focus of the blog has shifted a bit away from investment to economics and finance. With a little motorcycle and general grunge content thrown in. Lately, posts have addressed oil and the multitude of issues involved in the skyrocketing price and the future outlook for world energy development (of all types).

This trend should continue. First and foremost, the Author wants to make a little money from the rising price of oil. Secondly, he wants to understand what in the heck is going on. And finally, he wishes to share that information and knowledge with his readers.
