Trump’s treachery (Ad) A few months ago, I released a list of six companies I believed were going to appreciate under Trump’s second term. And I was right. Since then, this offshore oil company – which is already up 50% from when we first recommended it – has reopened an oil field that is about to start producing 50,000 barrels of oil per day. That’s more than double the amount of oil the company initially predicted it could produce. This could be the most asymmetric bet in the market today.
