You have ruined some weekends, provided cause to upend my thoughts but most of all provided independent and objective analysis of news, economics and the world around us.
The exact reason I am a paid subscriber and can’t recommend Doomberg enough.
Thanks little green chicken, enjoy the Christmas season with friends and family and may 2026 provide us with more clues and fascinating insights.
I was - for years - a freeloader. Shame one me, yes.
I listened to ALL, literally ALL YouTube/spotify Doomcasts and was highly educated. So, now is a new year and eventually I have to pay back a little by subscribing to DOOMBERG.
So far, I have one subscription only - being a Dividend Growth Investor - with SIMPLY SAFE DIVIDENDS for >10 years now.
ALL the Doomcasts had a huge amount of influence on my dividend investing journey and so it is only logical to start my DOOMBERG sub on a January, 1.
Consistently excellent, even when you get it wrong—at least in your own assessment. Life is more like poker than chess, so you can make great decisions and still be wrong.
You are very much the gold standard of newsletters. Keep up the good work.
Very much enjoyed my first few months as a subscriber to Doomberg!
I've also enjoyed the many podcast interviews you've done. On a couple of your more recent ones, I recall you mentioning the difficulty finding a healthcare plan that matches your needs (as well as possibly your families) with the soon to be increase in premiums. You might be interested in taking a look at CrowdHealth. They offer pretty much what it sounds like you're trying to look for, at a fraction of the cost of ACA plans. I've been a member for over two years now and have thoroughly enjoyed their view on healthcare and insurance and the current state/system of things. I get the same similarity between your views on energy and investing, which is why I subscribed in the first place. Thought I'd mention it!
Hi, im a subscriber, so where will I find "Investing in Energy: Fundamentals for Strategic Decision Making" ? I get the emails, so any other presentations I missed this year? regards
I appreciate that team Dberg is introspective and honest in the self-assessment department….part of the reason I renewed my subscription….that and the witty final sentence in each article.
I am curious if part of the focus on Venezuela is for the heavy crude they produce….the U.S. runs on heavy fuel (diesel, jet fuel) that our light, gassy crude does not produce easily or at all. We get a lot of that from “friendly” Canada and I thought the friendly turn to Syria would be about a heavy crude deal but so far nothing….any indication that the Venezuela focus is partially driven be our diesel desires?
You have many interesting perspectives; however, I must take issue with your interpretation of Argentina.
For instance, you say that Trump bailed out Milei. Milei was under attack from the Soros crowd, who were betting heavily against the Peso to discredit Milei's programme. Trump looked in and said 'we'll take the opposite side of the bet, how much ya got?" Not really a bailout, just support for an ally, backstopped by Vaca Muerta. Then you imply, without any evidence (naughty) that the vote was rigged. The opposition here took a beating they didn't expect, but I have seen no examples where they claimed the vote was not correct. You shouldn't besmirch democracy when it works, just because it fits your mental axioms.
If you want to know what is actually happening here, then may I suggest 'A Donde Vas, Argentina?' here on Substack, which, of course, I write. The theme is to tell the story of Argentina, now it has opted for rational government. You would do well to avoid foreign coverage; it is garbage.
Thank you Doomie! The insights and thought provoking analysis you provide has made my reading most enjoyable (AND now with Classics Read Aloud . . . listening most pleasurable as well).
You make every post stimulating with your lateral thinking and research into areas and ideas I had never known or considered . . .
Have a very Merry Christmas and and I am looking forward to your thoughts and Ruby's stories in 2026.
I would highly recommend this video, as it makes the case that the stakeholder capitalism and ESG, that replaced Milton Friedman’s shareholder capitalism, equates to socialism…. Rather than capitalism.

2026. Could be wild.
Where can a member find the presentation link? Investing in Energy: Fundamentals for Strategic Decision Making

Disturbing but not surprising that 80% of the feckless congress would oust Trump. However I doubt there are enough Republicans to do it publicly.
Merry Christmas Doomberg. You are always at the top of my research pile (digital of course).
I really can't tell you how much I hate......that......song.....
jealous as a writer, honored as a friend grateful as a reader

Thanks so much Doomberg for this years achievements and insights. You’ve kept my subscription for a second year.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this video of Disiree Fixler an American banker and whistleblower from Deutche bank who is interviewed here:

Would love to hear the green chicken’s thoughts.
