Good shout Hardup, I missed that connection actually..
Surely all these Political Policy flip-flops are so damaging for growth in businesses, but also in countries economies themselves..
You can bet your bottom dollar, that it will be reveresed again once a greener POTUS get's back into power. It's also a case of the British Politics as well, from Left to possible right, the polices are so vast that enormous amounts of money are spent on policies and direction of travel for legislation, but then back tracked by the next leadership 4 / 5 years on..
Madness IMO. Stability seems to be impossible in a Democracy..
SO be it Oil, or be it Green Energy, maybe we can no longer invest our money on ethics or merits of an individual business and concentrate more on Investing (gambling), our money on the way political leaders decide our policies.
I'm now flip-flopping myself if to double up here, or wait and see if Oil takes a dive. Although I also have my eye on Kraft Heinz atm which looks quite atractive.
I'll try and sit on my hands for a bit longer hoping Gold takes a retrace to around €3'600 or Silver at $55 and I'll buy myself some Brittania's..
