“I usually don’t recommend itemized suggestions for getting ready for future events, but I will this time. Many of us has experience the curse of 2016 but let’s move on and make this 2017 a lot better!”
First, for those who would like some stock tips, with the government appointees that are being chosen, there will be some protectionist legislation which will be happening. A lot of this protectionist legislation will set laws in place until 2026, when significant change happens in the congress. So, my recommendation is that the Oil Company stocks will be good investments for a number of years, including Exxon/Mobil.
Part of this will be because the price of gasoline will be going up. Part of this will be because the oil companies will have protection for expanding their business processes. So, the oil company stocks will be lucrative.
Another recommendation, for those so inclined, the Automakers currently are selling large trucks and SUV’s, with little demand for small cars that get higher gas mileage. This means now is the time to purchase smaller cars that get higher gas mileage. Demand is down which means their prices will be down – with the newer and used vehicles. This includes the smaller, more gas efficient pickups as well.
I’m still psychically seeing gas prices go up and up. 2017 is not going to be the year that the gas prices are double what they were in 2016, but that year will be coming around the corner. There is a little time (2017) to move in the direction of preparing. But, when the gas prices do go up, the demand and prices of small vehicles with higher gas mileage (and electric and hybrid cars) will go up again, also. If you only drive a large SUV or low-mpg truck during that time, you’re going to feel it at the pump.
Meanwhile, for those of you who want to make greener investments, do so. It is a good time to invest in alternative energy industries and green companies because it’s time to “put one’s money where one’s mouth is”. Make your actions count. Pick up the bat and step up to the plate. If you consider the greener businesses worth having around, then get in the game. We make our feelings and considerations real by investing our time, our energy, our intelligence in projects and even our money in these companies. Don’t sit on the fence. Pick one thing that you feel is important and if you’re not sure, then begin your involvement small to see how it works for you and your life. Try it and see.
Remember, we’re all in this together. The more people with our hands on the oars, rowing the boat in a certain direction, the stronger the forces to go in that direction. There is the old saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” There are plenty of people who speak many empty words loudly, but carry out little action. We don’t need to speak loud words when our actions become strong enough to speak for us. We can let our actions do the speaking. Hope plus action causes manifestation.
Some of the action I recommend – prayer and meditation. Both of these bring in more help than we can ever imagine. When real help is needed, we can go to the One who can bring forth that real help.
The analysis of the economic landscape in light of government appointments is quite intriguing. It raises questions about the long-term sustainability of such investments, particularly in the oil sector.
While the suggestion to invest in smaller vehicles seems prudent given current market trends, it is essential to consider potential shifts in consumer preferences and regulatory changes that could affect this strategy.
‘Hope plus action causes manifestation’ captures a crucial truth about change-making. It might be advantageous to delve deeper into how collective action has historically brought about substantial progress.
‘Collective action’ indeed has a strong historical precedent; examining successful movements can offer valuable lessons for today’s initiatives.
‘Putting one’s money where one’s mouth is’ highlights an important aspect of ethical investing. It might be worth discussing specific alternative energy sectors that show promise for growth in the near future.
‘Psychically seeing gas prices rise’ introduces an interesting perspective on prediction. Analyzing data-driven forecasts alongside intuitive insights could provide a more rounded view of market trends.
Your points about the fluctuation of gas prices and their impact on vehicle demand are well taken. However, I wonder how global market trends and geopolitical issues might play into these predictions.
The call to action regarding greener investments resonates deeply. However, it would be beneficial to explore what metrics one should use to evaluate these ‘green’ companies before making commitments.
‘Actions speak louder than words’ is indeed a profound sentiment. It would be interesting to analyze case studies where action-oriented strategies have led to significant change within communities or industries.
