https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1661035251030716416 RT @WarrenPies: I spoke to a client/oil veteran last week. He is well known with a long history in shale and friendly w/ OPEC players. What he said caught my attention: "I have spoken to key OPEC players privately. They know that shale has big problems and are going to press their advantage." https://t.co/JVQZrQfuFk via @JavierBlas

20 posts held, back to 20 May 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 23 May 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1661002800577298432 RT @karim__fawaz: In a slowing demand growth world, he needs speculators to buy into an underinvestment thesis that is inherently speculative. The focus is on the stick (punishing shorts) because it's tested and payoff is immediate but he needs to focus on the carrot (being long will pay off) via @JavierBlas
https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1661002794722119681 RT @karim__fawaz: The irony is that tighter fundamentals will take care of shorts, but KSA actually *needs* speculators to be willing to go (& stay) long for sustained higher prices. https://t.co/BJyJKcF77G via @JavierBlas

https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1660642928425852930 To reclaim the buying heft it enjoyed a decade ago at the IKEA till, OPEC+ nations would need, somehow, to lift the annual average price of oil to about $155 a barrel. Put in furniture terms, that’s about two Billys bookcase per barrel. https://t.co/HkpgzLlmPy via @JavierBlas
https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1660642918204358660 Oil in Billys per barrel gives a rough measure of the purchasing power of the barrel. At its peak, in 2012, a single barrel of oil bought two bookcases. Today, it doesn’t pay even for one. At the IKEA till, oil is back to the level it was in 2005. https://t.co/HkpgzLlmPy via @JavierBlas
https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1660642009101524995 The price of the Billy bookcase has risen significantly since 2015, and particularly over the last three years -- at par with global inflation. Oil prices, meanwhile, have lagged, reducing the purchasing power of the barrel https://t.co/HkpgzLlmPy https://t.co/WDFxx5iJnj via @JavierBlas
https://twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1660641457030459393 The Billy bookcase has been in production since 1979 (with minimal design changes), and thanks to the IKEA Museum, with its collection of annual catalogues, we can track its since the early days. It's a rather good manufacturing price benchmark (below the 1979 IKEA catalogue) https://t.co/7e9ESus9Gu via @JavierBlas

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @JavierBlas. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 987,258 of 1,350,102entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.

@JavierBlas named 4 handles that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
Never seen alive
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
