That's a tempting bet, but I don't want to put more things in my head to deal with some time or another. Especially things in 2037 or even 2020. By 2037 I'll have at least one foot in the grave. Just the accounting fees would ruin the value of the bet - the IRD would require accrual accounting and annual reporting of asset values.

I'm more interested in the reasoning than being right. If there are better information and ideas available than what I use right now, I'll change my mind. I'm interested in getting the right idea, not defending any particular position. It's not as though I can profit from possession of a faulty idea. I'm not paid by Exxon or anyone to defend any particular position.
