To Summarize the past three hours:

- Oil is down 30%.
- S&P futures tripped their lower bound at 5% under Fridays close.
- Every market is dropping off a cliff.
- The US Bond market is flatlined.
- Airlines are down 45%.

Bonus:
There is no cargo in the ports of LA & Long Beach, the two largest ports in North America. :hmmyes:

This is a rapidly developing situation, I'll be up a wind turbine without cell reception and unable to update this OP as it all melts down tomorrow. :tipshat:

I'm old enough to be at the stage in my life where I've been working and saving so long I finally got some investments and things going on a couple years back.
At that point this became inevitable.

The oil price dropping further might have to do with complications between Saudi Arabia and Russia...
(Russia did not agree to cut their oil output, and Saudi Arabia decided to pump more in response to Russia's.... statement.)

Still, I never would have expected Brent Crude drop to $35...

I think the real question will be... is it time to go all-in on Hydrogen and CO2 sequestration?

It will be interesting to see what housing prices do...

Basically, bonds are a... gurantee from a sovreign nation to pay....

Basically, if I'm the government and you gave me 50 dollars in 1980, then I would give you 100 dollars in the year 2000, or something like that....

What we are seeing are that bonds are basically returning extremely low interest.

The more that people buy, the lower the rates get. Also there is a general concern within the economic world of just where our economic growth is going to happen in the next 10-20-30 years.

To me it seems like it will be renewables and hydrogen products, rather than just pure unadulterated growth.

I am confident that if the first world really wants to, we can get to 0 emissions. But there will be sacrifices... (Air travel, tourism, brownouts perhaps...)

I think the real question will be... if we end up transitioning to Hydrogen+natural gas (it can be blended) then to pure Hydrogen, just who exactly is going to lead the world's economy. If Russia+Saudi Arabia is able to bankrupt the US shale gas producers. Then that leaves only one major supplier for China and the EU.

I expect they would transition their pipeline network to utilize Hydrogen. There is no way the U.S. can compete.

Hydrogen could be liquified and sent over the sea just like natural gas. But from what I understand (not a chemical engineer) the boil off and liquification is much more finicky compared to LNG.
