Jim Cramer Calls Saudi Arabia, Russia Oil Deal a Hoax

By: Jim Cramer

It was always a hoax. That's what I have to say about the so-called deal between Saudi Arabia and Russia to limit oil production to slightly more than 10 million barrels each if Iraq and Iran don't raise their production further than current levels roughly between 3.5 million and 3.25 million barrels a day.

It was always the stated goal of both Iraq and Iran to dramatically raise production, which would then put pressure on Russia...

With Some Tar Sands Oil Selling at a Loss, Why Is Production Still Rising?

By: Phil McKenna

Cramer: Nobody Knows Anything When It Comes to the Price of Oil

By: Jim Cramer

Just for laughs I went back to read articles about oil written this time last year, when oil was in the high $40s.

The talk back then was almost all about the shape of the letter. Were we going to have a "V" recovery, which would put oil on a course back to $100, where it was before the crash began in June 2014. Or would it be a more of a meandering back, via a "U", where it might not be any higher than $70 a year later...

MLPs See Take-or-Pay Contracts at Risk Amid Low Energy Prices

By Carleton English

As oil and gas prices continue to be low in 2016 -- and oil prices continue to test new lows -- what is the outlook for energy-related master limited partnerships and their investors?

With the Alerian MLP Index (AMZ) down 15% so far in 2016, it is underperforming the S&P 500, which is down 8.4%. Put simply, the outlook so far for MLP investors seems to be a continuation of 2015, when the Alerian MLP fell 38%.
