#1 As annoying as it is, I'm not in the mood to get laid off again. And yes Skid, I'm a rig guy. Been MWD, Mudlogger, and now I do automation software. Out here on a rig in West Virigina atm.

#5 Two simple acts - reenact Trumps fracking authorization and the keystone pipeline, would stabilize prices. But NOOOOOOOOOO. Self Inflicted Wound!

#7 BLS report out just now. +467k non farm payroll (that's right an increase - once again the ADP and BLS numbers don't agree well). Unemployment stays at 4.0; average workweek down a bit. In all not too bad.

However, with the inventory build up in January, I fear February's numbers (tb released 4 March) will not be pretty.

#8 FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Crude Oil per Barrel prices over the last 22 years.
In Jan. 2000 it was $45.66 a barrel and adjusted for inflation that would be $73.93.

The highest on record price for a barrel of Crude Oil Barrel since the year 2000, happened in June 2008 when it peaked at $178.36 a barrel.

Note: Yep! it happened under the Obama Admin, which is strongly rumored to be now steering this Admin/Junta.
