Probably starve out the Iranians.



Since Obama has let the Iranians do whatever they want, the Saudis have realized they have to be the adults in the Middle East and are using economic warfare to stifle Iran's nuclear ambitions.

1 Have 10 billion sitting around
2 Buy long dated oil calls with that money


3 Cut oil production, watch oil shoot to $100


4 Buy more Bugatti's

Perhaps.  I just remember the how they c i l l ed the wildcatters here in the '80s.  Ramping production is no small feat.  People tend to forget that that ramping up started in '05-'06 and broke the SA back in '14 going into '15.  Almost a decade.  I believed they called it the largest wealth transfer in the history of man.  

SA is no friend to us.  I remember their oil minister saying at the peak "Americans should have to go to a pharmacy to buy oil by the quart, they should stay home and watch TV like the rest of the world."  To paraphrase what that cockersucker said.

Historical chart.  You may be O&G and I don't mean to insult.  But muh feelz says we are target #1.  They are threatening a US bond market dump this week.

Honestly, I don't know what to think of that contingency.

My drunk gut says good as long as we aren't moth balled at that point.  And we don't spill our blood over it.

Calling All Bankers for Help Managing $2 Trillion Saudi Fund

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is seeking to recruit senior bankers to help the kingdom run what may become the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The fund, which holds about $100 billion worth of stakes in local companies, is working with U.S.-based executive search firm Korn Ferry International to hire for positions including the head of private equity, head of real estate, head of risk management and the head of markets, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. The fund is seeking the most experienced international candidates, they said.

Saudi Arabia is preparing itself for the twilight of the oil age by expanding the PIF so it eventually controls more than $2 trillion, Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in an interview earlier this month. The country will sell shares in Saudi Arabian Oil Co.’s parent company, or Aramco, and transfer these to the fund, technically making investments the source of Saudi government revenue, not oil, according to the prince.

Korn Ferry declined to comment.

Once the welfare handouts in SA stop, unrest begins and eventual revolt.  Those peasants over there got nothing else to lose and the royals know this.  Borrowing money along with what is essentially an IPO of Saudi Aramco?  Yeah, the royals are selling off everything they can to get as much cash as possible and they will get the hell out of there once the unrest gets feisty.  I told a friend of mine a while back I expect to see SA as a nation fall in my lifetime, he didn't believe me.  Jeez man, obvious clues are obvious.
