What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentReuters reports Chevron is evacuating some workers from Gulf of Mexico platforms because of a storm. Joining us is economist Thaddeus Quibble-Nakamura. Thaddeus, welcome.
Thaddeus Quibble-NakamuraKenji, thank you. I predicted this evacuation, and I also predicted the opposite, so I am legally a prophet either way.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, that's wild. Reuters says it could hit near-term production and support oil prices. Does your book cover that?
Thaddeus Quibble-NakamuraChapter nine. It's called Rain Happens, Barrels Follow. Chapter ten is Rain Doesn't Happen, Barrels Also Follow. Both are forty dollars.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, so which is it? Does the storm push oil up or not? Pick one.
Thaddeus Quibble-NakamuraKenji, picking is for amateurs. I hold both positions, like a man wearing two belts and suspenders. And a third belt.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's not a forecast, that's a man holding up his own pants. Reuters only says some workers, not all.
Thaddeus Quibble-NakamuraCorrect. Some workers leave, some stay. I predicted the ones who stay would eat the leftover sandwiches. Unverified, but I feel it deeply.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHard pin-down time. Name one call from your book that was only right, not right and also wrong.
Thaddeus Quibble-NakamuraPage two hundred twelve. I predicted I would sell books. I have sold eleven, and nine were to my mother.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, your mom is your best-performing asset. Chevron is the ticker, C-V-X, and nobody here knows what it does tonight.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe'll have to leave it there. Thaddeus Quibble-Nakamura, everybody. Opinions are his, both of them. Back to the overnight desk.
