Troy shares his perspective on the Middle East, the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, and why fossil fuels remain critical despite the ongoing push toward alternative energy. He also breaks down why many investors are frozen right now, how inflation and deflationary behavior may affect the broader economy, and why cash flow, liquidity, and real assets matter in uncertain times. The conversation also touches on AI's growing role in oil and gas, from improving drilling accuracy to reducing costs and streamlining data analysis, as well as Troy's advice for investors looking to protect wealth and stay prepared for future opportunities.
