A Middle East money insider reveals who's getting rich off $100 oil & where they'll spend the money.
Hedge fund and private equity consultant John D'Agostino joins the panel for this conversation. He’s also the author of “Rigged: The True Story of an Ivy League Kid Who Changed the World of Oil, from Wall Street to Dubai.” Following is a synopsis of his main points.

Specifically, solar & wind names are most likely to benefit. In fact, I helped facilitate 3 deals between Abu Dhabi and alternative energy companies recently.

High Price Of Oil
Crude prices might not recede anytime soon, D’Agostino reveals. The conventional wisdom right now is that oil is on a speculative run above $100 and headed lower after this blow-off.
