Read It Or Weep

Profit From The Peak is one of those rare works that not only decodes what is an esoteric and dense subject, but puts forth the information without bias, and without spin.

Personally, I think this volume has within its covers information that can make the reader a fortune. And, Heaven forbid, if things really go off the deep end, it could literally be a life saver.

I've been reading Hicks' work for years now, and can attest to his uncanny ability to take the big picture and distill it into a series of concise, clear and highly profitable steps, time and time again.

Teamed up with Chris Nelder, the duo has really hit this one out of the park. Even a true novice to the concept of Peak Oil can pick up this book and come away with a keen understanding of the core concepts, and a bullet-proof strategy for long-term profit.

For the investor, the principle of Occam's Razor is true here; Go long oil, in all its incarnations. But doing so without understanding exactly how the world got to this point--a total dependence on a finite energy source--would do one a disservice.

There's simply too much at stake, globally and personally, not to be fully up to speed on the concepts and strategies explained so eloquently in Profit From The Peak.

I urge any serious thinker, investor....anyone at all, to read this book as soon as possible. Tomorrow may simply be too late.

Peak Oil

According to the authors, the supply of oil is dwindling
rapidly. We must have viable alternatives in the short to
intermediate term. Simultaneously, the supply of oil
is dwindling and global population is soaring to 9 billion
by mid-century. 50% of USA imports of oil are from
Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Ultimately,
true oil could reach $500/ barrel by the author !
How do you fight back? You do so by building autos
that can get 100 MPG amongst other R & D investments.

In addition, the supply of oil will last another 30 years
absent any major oil discoveries. A $20 trillion dollar
investment in R and D is needed to quench the current
industrial thirst for energy. Lastly, 60% of proven oil
reserves are in the Middle East.

There are huge investment opportunities. i.e.
o Suncor Energy is the largest tar sands company.
o Allegro Biodiesel Corporation has expertise in
biodiesel fuels.
o Peerless Manufacturing Company deals in pollution
abatement.

There are a number of viable alternative energy sources. i.e.

o solar energy and power generated in desert environments
o tar sand re-processing
o cleaner burning coal, scrubber technological enhancements...
o nuclear power
o The "Artificial Sun"- a multi-nation fusion project
o wind mill power for farming and rural areas
o hydroelectric power and environmental safeguards of salmon et. al.

The author should have developed some of the above options
in the work. Nonetheless, the book provides a rich source of
information with profound future implications. It is the
"Future Shock" of the energy industry.

Oily crap

What a load of crap, They just found a big oil field off the coast of Brazil 2 fields in fact. 1/3 to 1/2 of the Gulf hasn't been explored.There is according to "Energy and Capital" Special Reports 503 billion barrels of oil in the Bakken Formation stretching from Monatana to N' Dakota another 40 billion barrels on the North Slope of Alaska -maybe more, 175 Trillion barrels thats right TRILLION barrels of oil in Canadian Tar Sands that they can extract a barrel of oil from for about $[...] a barrel-this is reported by Popular Science Apr 2008 issue. 5 Trillion barrels of oil in Oil shale in Colo,Wyo & Utah that they can extract a barrel from from at about $[...] a barrel. There's hundreds million maybe billions of barrels of oil off the coast of Calif and Fla.I could go on and on , but most of you buy into the fear propoganda of Peak Oil a farce that Big Oil & Commodity traders want you to believe to keep making them richer.
My best friend who is retired from Wal Mart and former upper mgt with them has a brother that works on the Gulf oil rigs and he states that he can't count how many excellent producing wells are capped off- I wonder why ?. Beside the earth core keeps producing more oil and oil pools in the Gulf now are refilling up from those deeper deposits seeping upward. All this info is readily available on the webs you just have to search it out apparently these dooms day writers didn't do that.

Praise for Profit from the Peak

"This book is a clearly written, succinct, and well-referenced summary of information about, and related to, what I believe will be the most important issue to strike Western civilization ever: the end of cheap oil. It is clear to me that how we make investments over the next few decades will determine whether we can survive the end of cheap oil and in what fashion. While I am not nearly as optimistic as the authors that there is a supply-side solution to the issues we will face 'post-peak oil,' they certainly have lots of good ideas as to where we might invest in alternatives. This book is a must-have on the shelf of any savvy investor as we face the second half of the age of oil."
-Charles Hall, ESF Foundation Distinguished Professor, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, State University of New York

"Profit from the Peak will help you develop and maintain financial security as the price of oil soars and our globalized economy gets into trouble. Hicks and Nelder show how you and your community can tackle the long transition of relocalization. Learn about the power of locally generated energy-and benefit from their practical guide to investing in the most efficientand attractive of today's post-petroleum alternatives."
-Julian Darley, founder of the Post Carbon Institute and author of High Noon for Natural Gas

"Brian and Chris deliver the painful yet potentially profitable truth about peak oil. Not theory anymore, but reality. This book is a must if you want a clear path to profits in the age of peak oil."
-Kevin Kerr, Editor of Dow Jones Global Resources Trader and President of Kerr Trading International

"Profit from the Peak shows not only why investment in alternative energy sources is about to skyrocket, but more importantly, where investment is going to pay off the most, by concisely describing the huge variety of upcoming energy sources and their relevant companies."
-Rembrandt Koppelaar, oil analyst, President of ASPO Netherlands
