It’s over. Done. Finished.
Depending on which side of the political aisle you lean, you’re either screaming violently out into the void or excitedly relishing what turned out to be quite a day that lasted well into the early hours of Wednesday morning.
I’ll let you decide which of those scenarios you fell under. But at the very least, one silver lining that we can all take away from Tuesday’s election is the fact that it’s over — Finally!
It’s true, dear reader, we all can enjoy a slight respite as the most dreaded day in American politics — the one that haunts half of Americans for the next four years — has finally ended. Don’t worry, we have at least a few more months of peace until you start hearing the first whispers of the 2028 election cycle.
When I tell you that there are a few silver linings now that the election is behind us, I mean it. You see, no matter who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20, 2025, the oil markets have languished from uncertainty.

Election Aftermath: Trump’s Path to Oil Profits
At first glance, it’s easy to see why U.S. oil stocks are surging higher in a post-Trump victory.
If you need to know exactly why, perhaps this little quote from President Trump will clear up which direction we’re heading:
“We will blast through every bureaucratic hurdle to issue rapid approvals for new drilling, new pipelines, new refineries, new power plants, new electric plants, and reactors of all types.”
For all the faults you may or may not see in a Trump administration, there’s no denying that the guy embraces an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy.
Yes, that also goes for renewable sources such as wind energy, which grew steadily during President Trump’s first term.
But let’s be honest with each other, the real shining star in Trump’s energy plan will be in the U.S. oil and gas industry, which has wilted over the past year.
Even though U.S. oil output climbed dramatically in 2023, this year has been relatively flat — a fact that most of the mainstream media has failed to recognize. Keep in mind that we won’t see a massive production boom in 2025, but getting your drill bits into the ground will certainly be easier once the red tape starts getting cut away.
I know what you’re thinking, too: “Won’t higher-than-expected U.S. production lead to more supply, ultimately lowering prices.”
Well, yes… but you’re forgetting a few other factors that are now officially in play.
At the top of that list are two immediate actions that will have a huge impact on crude prices.
First, it shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that Trump’s second administration will be tough on Iran; the only question is how soon he’ll slap harsher sanctions on Iran’s oil industry.
When Trump left office the last time around, Iran was pumping out a little under 3 million barrels per day. Regardless of how much you love or hate our current President, you have to admit he was pretty soft on those sanctions, which has helped boost Iran’s output to around 4 million barrels per day.
Of course, we can’t forget Venezuela in this mix, and you can bet President Trump will slap those back on Maduro in a heartbeat.
These actions alone will make a tight global market even tighter in the future. And let’s not forget the fact that OPEC+ will delay putting more barrels on the market until January 2025, too.
If you’re wondering, these factors alone could be why U.S. oil stocks are screaming higher in the days after the election, despite the fact that WTI prices are barely moving the needle.
Ah, but there’s a catch to all of this good news…
The days of our runaway oil boom are over, and gone is the drilling frenzy fueled by debt that permeated the U.S. oil patch a decade ago.
It’s a whole new ballgame today.
Our investment community here has been talking about this for more than a year, and now the evidence is backing up everything we’ve said up to this point — that the real profits in oil will come from the hidden gems doing more with less!
This will become apparent to the investment herd as we move closer and closer to Trump’s inauguration.
And by the time President Trump rests his hand on the bible and is sworn into office again, it’ll be too late.
But I don’t want you to simply take me at my word, I want to show you the drilling technology that is changing the oil game forever.
I think it’s time you see the details behind this small investment gem for yourself firsthand.
Until next time,
