"Only "truth" here is that OP is kept depressed via a concerted media "glut narrative" in spite of physical indicators that cry shortage, not oversupply."
Flavius, you've comically got it the wrong way round...The oil shortage/tight supply/chronic underinvestment blah blah narrative was peddled by OPEC, no serious or respected oil and gas investors were of that view. The hard data has been screaming oversupply for a long, long time. Non-OPEC countries are throwing the kitchen sink at production, whilst demand remains tepid.
This is why oil and oilers have been heavily shorted for donkeys, the sector has been in a bear market since autumn 2022. But the occasional Middle East flare-up, or OPEC cuts in 2023-24, drove very short-term spikes which were sold into and shorted by smart money.
Posters all over these boards have been regurgitating the tripe on oilprice.com, ZeroHedge etc. and have been led down the garden path that oil is about to go parabolic any day now, so hurry hurry we must all rush into oilers!
You've been played son, best to stick to index funds.
