Instead of diamonds and gold I'm buying stock in these energy companies that pay out decent dividends.
Energy is still in the top four of best asset classes over 20 the last years, even at $2 gas those guys have no shortage of customers.

Check the timing on the oil downturn, it started pretty close to when Putin invaded Ukraine. But that's okay, hubby doesn't believe me either.
I agree and I am keeping a close eye on Exxon and Chevron, I think they can drop a little more.
