Check out our Strategic Insights "The Beginning of the End of Big Oil" to see the recent blows the global oil industry has took in the recent May and why it looks to be the a foretelling of what is to come.
In this week's Market Insights we conclude our discussion on the Israeli Palestinian conflict and look at why it still has such profound impacts on the market and how the bad memories of the past can be seen to influence todays behavior. Once again, we are not here to provide any solutions to such a complex problem, but our intention if for investors to understand the historical context of this conflict, understand why it has been so difficult to solve, and how this conflict has so frequently destabilized financial markets in the past. We also discuss how the looming decline of Big Oil could hopefully lead to a peaceful resolution to this ancient conflict.
