When the US pulls out of Iraq, expect the civil war there to continue for at least 3 more years (that's my estimate of how long it'll take the UN to get off their duff and stablize the area, if that's even possible). This will mean more & more disrup...

The longer oil is above 85, the better DO and its offshore compatriots will do. If you think, like I do, that oil will stay where it is or go up over the next five years, then DO is an easy choice. It has a lovely balance sheet, they hand out a great...
