1.) Could the US benefit from a temporary tariff on oil imports?
2.) Did Russia / Saudi Arabia short-sell the oil market? Is that how Putin makes money?

Gold platininum palladium and rhodium. All precious tradable metals. some more industrial than others.All move different to the others. Palladium recently went nuts. But I would not have more than 5-10% in metals.
