Dr. Stephen Leeb believes the U.S. economy is facing a significant downturn due to a severe oil shortage. This resource has been closely linked to economic stability for the past 30 years. Leeb, the author of several books, including “Getting In on the Ground Floor,” argues that the United States must reduce its dependence on oil imports in the long term.
Dr. Leeb advises individuals to select investments based on the long-standing relationship between oil prices and the stock market. He has several solid observations from the past 40 years of stock performance and oil prices.
“Since 1973, the economy and stock market have danced to oil’s tune. Sharp rises in oil prices have led to recession/stagflation and plummeting stocks while declining prices or just mildly up-trended prices have led to good times.”
“The Oil Factor” offers a historical context while analyzing various industries, specific companies, and investment options such as bonds and Treasury notes. Dr. Stephen Leeb’s thesis is well-researched, and the book provides a solid, concise overview of economic trends and the stock market.
