There was mention of not needing as much US Strategic Petroleum Reserve as Trump took office. Looks like the current administration is taking steps to draw down the SPR, now down ~13mil BBL since the EIA March 31, 2017 report. Add this to the normal inventory volatility which occurs with the seasonal shut-down and maintenance and we have seen a total draw of 36,029,00 BBL

One of the tools I use is to track insider activity. The most important aspect of investing on which few focus is the quality of the management team. I spend most of my time on research developing an understanding of corporate management’s skills and outlook. If one spends the time detailing management’s background, their business relationships and couples this to their business performance and cash commitments to future common stock performance, one can build an investment case for a business at a particular price range.
