They called us "pessimists." Said we were "too paranoid" and were "profiteers of doom and gloom."
And just last year, the talking heads on Fox referred to us as "peak freaks."
That's how the media has described us ever since we made a shocking prediction back on March 3, 2005.
If you missed it, here's what we said that day...
Even the stodgy Steve Forbes couldn't resist taking a swipe. He called us out, and made his own "shocking" prediction...
"In 12 months, you're going to see oil down to $35 to $40 a barrel. It's a huge bubble, I don't know what's going to pop it but eventually it will pop - you cannot go against supply and demand, you cannot go against the fundamentals forever."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. You can't go against supply and demand forever.
That was over 5 years ago.
And today?
You know the story all too well. Oil is at record levels, hitting nearly $130 a barrel on May 20. And everybody from President Bush to OPEC to the CEOs of Big Oil are now saying exactly what we were saying in 2005: The world's supply of easy oil is quickly running out...
Folks, we are now living in the era of Peak Oil.
That's why we just released our new book Profit from the Peak to bookstores. The truth of the matter is that we consider Profit from the Peak the final and most profitable chapter in the journey we're calling "the greatest investment event of the century."
Chock full of the latest energy and economic research from two internationally recognized energy and investment analysts, Brian Hicks and Chris Nelder, Profit from the Peak reveals the mind-boggling profit potential the end of oil represents.
"Brian and Chris deliver the painful yet potentially profitable truth about peak oil. Not theory anymore, but reality. This book is a must if you want a clear path to profits in the age of peak oil."
- Kevin Kerr, Editor of Dow Jones Global Resources Trader and President of Kerr Trading International
Make no mistake... If you're not prepared to capitalize on the global ceiling of oil production, you'll miss out on a moneymaking opportunity seven times bigger than the Internet bull market of the 1990s.
Even worse, if you're not prepared, your family could suffer, along with millions of others, if the nation were faced with a prolongued period of gas siphoning, job losses and food shortages.
