I know this is not REI, but this passive oil/gas fund was recommended by a RE syndicator/fundraiser. I wanted to share my experiences and see if any other BP members wanted to share input or notes. KING:I invested wit...

That’s true of all monopolies both government or corporate, and often even when 2 or 3 different entities have “divided” market share.

I want to get out of my Corporate America job and do this full time. 

I always recommend we carry liability protection that at least matches the value of the assets that any lawyer can easily find to ensure that the insurance policy is the first line of defense rather than liquidate assets to pay for a settlement.Of course, if you can separate the ownership, it becomes more complicated and harder to "pierce the corporate veil" to drag other assets you manage into the mix.

Doing so would take the last large remaining geopolitical risk to the US off the table and boost European and US relations, and would likely lead to more favorable trade agreements.If you didn’t know, China buys about 60% of Russia’s energy exports, providing crucial revenue for its war effort, while supplying dual-use goods like drone components and electronics that have appeared in Russian weapons used in Ukraine.
