Bob Moriarty: On the Road to Armageddon, Take Shelter in Resources
The Energy Report | Oct 02, 2013 02:49AM ET
An economic recovery that isn't one. A civil war that isn't one. Cheap oil that is no more. According to Bob Moriarty, resources remain one of the few absolutes in the world. In this Energy Report interview, Moriarty explains why he's sticking to resources when many investors are turning to the mainstream markets, and shares long-term opportunities for shale oil in New Zealand and coal bed methane in Indonesia. The Energy Report:
Bob Moriarty: Of course. Tapering spends money without improving things. The Dow and the S&P are at record highs. That's a good thing, but only 12% of Americans own any shares at all, including in a retirement fund. At the very best, tapering is helping only that 12%.
The reality is that you're helping the 1%. The 1% is doing very well, but 99% are getting further behind. Plus, we're increasing the debt. One of these days it will blow sky high. I don't know whether the Fed will blow up or if the 10-year Treasury yield will, but this is a very dangerous time.
