Pair that with the summer is busy and we have 10+ guests slathered with oils and god knows what else happens and the pools get cloudy or worse green. 

Some entire towns or certain areas may only have septic available for waste, only private well for water supply, and oil for heat.

To complicate the matter the normal furnace company is insisting you must buy oil from them so I found a new guy proactively since buying from them was a 2k upcharge.

And again, it seems as though there are many directions these billionaires have taken in their lives from technology, retail, telecom, oil, stock trading that have gotten them on the Forbes list and to say that one way or the other is foolish would be pure fiction.  

My personal view is that is it also not likely in the near term.People can't agree on what causes stagflation but the two main theories are a supply shock (usually oil) or poorly made economic policy.

The third option is to sell and pay a boatload in taxes, which will reduce the amount of money you have to play with in addition to writing some painful checks to the IRS and FTB.I've been in your situation and done some commercial RE and oil investing out of state through syndications. 

The US government needs the world addicted to oil so that the world buy's oil in US dollars.

In my opinion, Grant Cardone is a snake oil salesman. 

I see the end, book it.2017 is the one for sure, Trump was elected, oil is low priced, Fed is raising rates, flaming hail, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.Fact:   The economy will fall into recession againFact: No one knows when or howSuggestion: Invest such that the timing of the market is not a factor, if it is a good investment now it will be a good investment in 10 years when you can add 10 to all the numbers above and repeat reading the same articles.  

This is primarily due to the low oil prices at the moment.
