SPR Borrowers Owe Uncle Sam 40 Million Extra Barrels

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve has taken a beating during the Iran war, but Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the government's emergency oil stash is headed for a surprisingly lucrative refill. Companies that borrowed crude from the SPR during the conflict will return those barrels with premiums attached, leaving the reserve about 40 million barrels larger than it would have been otherwise once the war ends, Wright said Friday. For an oil market accustomed to hearing about SPR drawdowns, em

If you suddenly received $100,000 today, would you invest it all at once or spread it out over time?

I recently found myself thinking about a scenario that comes up surprisingly often. Someone receives a large inheritance, sells a property, exits a business, or simply accumulates a significant amount of cash and suddenly has a six-figure sum sitting in their account. The data generally suggests that investing a lump sum immediately tends to outperform dollar-cost averaging over long periods because markets spend more time going up than down. At the same time, the psychological side of investing

Using student loan as a financial buffer during graduation, sensible or overthinking it?

Hey, looking for a sanity check on something I've been considering. I'm a student in the Netherlands nearing the end of my studies, currently working part-time and receiving some grants, so I have no existing debt and don't actually need the money right now to get by. I also don't have the option of financial support from family, so whatever buffer I build, I have to build myself. That context is part of why I'm thinking about this. I'm eligible for a government loan through DUO under the SF35 s

As probably many of you are, I am starting to worry about the AI bubble. Therefore I am thinking to convert most of my SP500 positions to Gold.

Bank of England Official Says Oil Crisis Clouds Rate Outlook

The Bank of England may know where inflation is headed, but it has a much harder time knowing where oil—and interest rates—are headed. That was the message from Bank of England policymaker Swati Dhingra on Friday, as the ongoing Middle East energy crisis continues to complicate the outlook for interest rates. "If you ask me what's my interest rate decision next month going to look like or in the future, I think that's very hard to say, because the big elephant in the room here is what happens to
