Is Gasoline Cheap or Expensive?
Cost per Pint:
Regular Unleaded Gasoline $0.44Budweiser (on sale) $0.74
Beer is easier to make, and a pint of it has onlya fraction of the energy content of gasoline.
So why does gasoline sell for less?
Reality: We’re still in the age of cheap energy.

Why Oil Importing Nations are Filling Their Strategic Petroleum Reserves to the Brim
• The IOCs (ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Chevron, Total)have been losing access to reserves for decades. This trend has accelerated with higher oil prices.
• The NOCs (Saudi Aramco, PDV, PetroChina, Pemex)
are mostly state-owned monopolies. If global supplies
are disrupted, some may suspend exports to make sure
their own citizens are not subject to hardship. It couldbe every country for itself.

Greed is Not Good When it Comes to Nationalism
• When countries nationalize their oil resources, economic incentives go out the window:
Exploration & Development budgets are cutBest employees leave for private jobsSubsidized motor fuels encourage consumption
• Iran (4th largest producer) already imports half of itsgasoline; has begun to ration to control
consumption. • Mexico (5th largest producer) has constitutional limit
that forces government to explore and produce with antiquated technology. Cantarell field is fading fast.
• Venezuela (8th largest producer) has seized assets
and is diverting oil revenue to social programs.

Geological Constraints • U.S. oil output peaked in the early 70s, about 7 decades
after big oil strikes began. Production has gone in half.
• On a global basis, annual oil production has exceeded
new discoveries since the mid-1980s, and relies heavily
on several dozen very large and old oil fields. • Nearly all of the world’s super-sized fields have been
discovered and significantly depleted. It takes dozensof smaller fields to replace a giant.

The world’s top six oil fields account for nearly 15% of
global production, but their average age is 64 years

Emerging Country Demand Is Growing • Car sales in China will soon hit 5 million/year.
• Taking a cue from Ford’s Model T, India’s Tata Motors
plans to introduce a $2500 car in 2008.
• If per capita oil consumption in China and India climb to
Mexico’s level, it’s similar to a doubling in U.S. demand.
U.S. 25.1 barrels per yearMexico 6.6 China 1.8India 0.8

Liquid Fuel Alternatives Slow To Materialize
• Biofuels: Limited to about 10% of demandEthanol production consuming a third of U.S. corn
supplyMost vehicles can’t tolerate ethanol blends above 10% Food prices going through the roof
• Oil Sands: Will take a decade to get to 15% of demand Canadian operation resembles mining, not pumping
Requires lots of people, natural gas, and water
• Natural Gas Liquids: Best hope but capital intensiveIt could take three decades to build up infrastructure
• Hydrogen-powered vehicles will never be viableHydrogen is too costly to produce, store and transport
• We’re just getting started on electric transportationHigh battery costs will limit volumes during next five
years

How Expensive Can Oil Get?
• 50% chance that oil will sustain $100/barrel in 2008Global oil production topping out despite high pricesEven with slow economy, diesel running short of
demandOPEC struggling with domestic consumption, aging
fields
• It could get really ugly after 2012 Deep water projects stall out
Dozens of large, aging fields slip into declineAuto sales set records, but world forced to live on less
• Price of oil ultimately driven by demand, not supplySome Europeans currently pay equivalent of
$220/barrel • Wind, Solar, and Nuclear will help little in the short run
Electrical Grid faces its own shortage of capacityReplacing gas cars with electric vehicles takes 30+
years

What to Expect in the Next 10-15 Years • Higher inflation from energy-intensive goods/services
FoodElectricityWaterFertilizerTransportationShippingBasic Materials (concrete, rubber, plastic, paper,
metals)
• Real returns from cash turn negative Money market funds already losing 2 or 3
percentage points of purchasing power
• Lower multiples on stocksStill best for keeping ahead of inflation
• Most energy and soft energy groups will outperform
But alternative energy will likely disappoint

Select Industrial Equip (efficiency play) Select Materials (chemicals and metals)Select Transportation (freight and railroads) Select Utilities Growth (electric utilities)

Why Asset Allocation Funds Make Sense
• Slow and steady approach not the most exciting way to invest, but actually the most foolproof way to grow your portfolio.
• Better than buying CDs, because it keeps you ahead of
inflation after taxes are paid.
• Far less risky than betting on growth stocks, emerging markets,
or other vehicles that can inflict so much damage that you maynever recover.
• Derives benefit from asset class rebalancing. • Ideal for retirees; conservative portfolio geared for 10% annual
returns will likely sustain a 4% liquidation rate indefinitely.
