Despite crude oil price declines in the fourth quarter, 2018 was the most profitable year for U.S. oil producers since 2013 (4/17/2019)

Net income for 43 U.S. oil producers reached a five-year high in 2018, totaling $28 billion. Based on this metric, 2018 was the most profitable year for these U.S. oil producers since 2013, despite average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices that were $33 dollars per barrel (b) lower in 2018 than in 2013, as well as an approximate 40% within-quarter decline in prices in the fourth quarter.

The Stages Of A Scam

1. Foundation Work: This is the preparations which are made before the scam is put in motion, including the elaboration of the plan, the employment of assistants and so forth.

2. Approach: Is the manner of getting in touch with the scammers victim — often most elaborately and carefully prepared.

3. Build Up: Rousing and sustaining the interest of the victim, rousing his emotions, showing him the chance of profit and filling him so full of anticipation and cupidity that his judgment is warped and his caution thrown away.

4. Pay-off or Convincer: An actual or apparent paying of money by the conspirators to convince the victim and settle doubts by a cash demonstration.

5. The Hurrah: This is like the dénouement in a play and no scam or con scheme is complete without it. It is a sudden crisis or unexpected development by which the victim is pushed over the last doubt or obstacle and forced to act. Once the hurrah is sprung the victim is clay in the scammer's hands or there is no game.

6. The In-and-In: This is the point in a scam act where the conspirator may put some of his money into the deal with that of the victim; first, to remove the last doubt that may tarry in the gull's mind.
