A lot of these frackers are headed for bankruptcy.

- Drilling for shale is very capital intensive.
- Hence a lot of these companies being highly leveraged/no cash flow.
-That was cool a few years ago when there was an abundance of cheap/PE financing available but it's been drying up.
-Also a lot of my friends who work in the industry have told that most of the easy fracking locations have been taken. They have had to drill subprime locations in order to meet lender demands.

Texas is about to feel it, but my Costco gas is about to hit a $1. :wow:

I could see Putin telling Trump to deny Saudis any relief effort if it goes full pandemic. That's the problem with SA, is that they hedge their economy on Oil, Oil pays for imports of Medical supplies but they don't seem to produce any or in small amounts to deal with CV.
The issue is they can afford to lower the price more than anyone because it's so cheap for them to extract it. If US won't offer them medical supplies they'll just start trading with China or India. Only way to do it is if everyone isolates them.

it honestly would be bad. I didn't think the coronavirus was pushing markets down like that but it's really hammering shyt and looks like another bad week is on the horizon. If I was Trump I'd be on this shyt nonstop but he likes to downplay it.
Problem is, Trump has no leverage with Saudi Arabia or Russia.

He let both of them run rings around him, and they seem to have some leverage on him.
