078: Why Did Warren Buffett Buy Occidental + My Generational Asymmetric Bet On Oil

Why did Warren Buffett by Occidental? This topic and other oil questions have been on my mind for months, and I recently came upon the thesis that that the price of oil is likely going to stay higher for longer. And if the price of oil stays high, then I believe I have identified some asymmetric bets. I discuss all of that in this episode, along with an update on how I'm thinking about Prosus and Tencent.
