Publisher's Synopsis
In this compelling memoir, Douglas Terreson, one of Wall Street's most influential energy analysts, takes readers on a journey through the high-stakes world of global oil markets and financial powerhouses. From his humble beginnings on offshore oil rigs to making billion-dollar calls that reshaped the energy industry, Terreson's story is one of perseverance, insight, and the courage to challenge the status quo. He reveals the inside story behind his legendary market predictions, including the "Era of the Super-Major," the "Golden Age of Refining," and "The Pledge," which sent shockwaves through the industry and made fortunes for those who listened. Terreson's career also spans some of the world's most complex energy privatizations, from Norway to China and even Venezuela. But it's not all smooth sailing-Terreson's contrarian stance during the 2008 financial crisis nearly cost him his career, only to be vindicated in spectacular fashion. Interwoven with tales of deep-sea fishing adventures and coaching little league, this book offers a unique perspective on the global energy landscape, the cutthroat world of Wall Street, and the delicate balance between professional success and personal fulfillment. Whether you're an investor, industry professional, or simply curious about the forces shaping our energy future, Terreson's story promises to educate, entertain, and inspire- while forever changing how you view the energy sector and the power of visionary analysis.
