Educational Segment. Bitcoin. It is not sustainable because of the energy consumption. There are 4 thousand crypto currencies. Half of a percent of all the electricity in the world today is consumed in making crypto currency. He thinks eventually governments will control all digital currencies as they can more easily track transactions to tax them. In the end he feels Bitcoin is worth nothing although it's energy cost is a couple of thousand.
His long term view is very negative on the airline industry. This industry has had the highest level of bankruptcies. It is not a great industry to invest in but you could trade it. He is a trader of airlines. They did better recently by adjusting for energy prices, but he does not see a bottom in the industry.
BTE-T vs. RRX-T. RRX-T has been taken out by BTE-T. One analyst says you will now own a company with a much higher debt. BTE-T is a zombie company because of debt. 78% debt to equity last time he talked about it. After the deal RRX-T will have a huge increase in production. If you believe in $80 oil by year end then this a good leveraged play on oil. He thinks we will below $60, the problem is that this stock is too levered. It will be at 75% debt to equity. The market is voting negatively on the deal.

Market. The Vienna OPEC Meeting: They could decide to add a million to a million and a half barrels of oil production but they moved it down to a third of that. OPEC has not been able to NOT CHEAT for a long period of time so he things they can't refrain from 'opening the spigots'. There has not been a huge investment in oil here for the last few years. He looks at the forward market. If we are going to $100 [as another guest predicted] then why is the futures market anchored at $50. He thinks Trump will make trade wars a little bit worse before making it better. The Canadian dollar is under pressure due to NAFTA which will perpetuate into next year at this point.
