How their thesis has evolved
Across the period, Rick Rule’s view on oil moved from skepticism about price action and demand, to a contrarian interest in an unloved market, then to a more measured stance centered on chronic underinvestment, and later back to a more constructive view when supply disruption risk came into focus. His silver view also evolved from concern that a physical squeeze would not work against the exchanges to a more positive stance on the sector, especially the stocks, as pricing continued to lag underlying metal strength.
