Crude Oil is a Good Bet at Current Prices
As an investment, West Texas Crude is a good bet right now. I can see the future with prices running substantially higher. The charts support me as this symmetrical triangle pattern works its way across the screen. Turns out it was the time period I was using that made the big difference to my clarity. Have a look. This is a weekly chart and it gives more confidence to the trader than my earlier daily chart was showing. So this puts us in the camp of be able to buy WTI stocks with a more promising future than Gold and silver stocks lately. Just my opinion of course. You be your own best judge.

I think the correction gets more complex first, but I’m in agreement on the plan.
And the implications.
They go hand in hand.
Thanks pedro_deleon.
Yup. Oil is far from finished moving up. Lotsa $$$ to be made
I am just researching companies now. Gold was making me tired with all the waiting.

Here is a prompt I’m using on Gemini. Type in AR and the current stock price and see what it says…

4. Technicals & Timing:
