Undanfarna tíu daga hafa fjölmiðlar verið mettaðir af umfjöllun um dauðsfall elísabetar bretlandsdrottningu, jarðaförina, Bresku konungsfjölskylduna, Karl, nýja konunginn. Fólkið sem fær vald sitt frá guði. Inn á milli er að finna fréttir sem varpa gagnrýnu ljósi á þetta allt saman, þessa stofnun, fjölskylduna, breska heimsveldið, illa fengnu demantana. Og svo framvegis. Í morgun fylgdist að því er virðist hálf jörðin með útförinni, frá Westminister Abbey, þar sem ungir kórdrengir sungu og fjölskylda og þjóðarleiðtogar syrgðu saman. Syrgðu konu, ömmu, tákmynd, mýþólógíu. Í athöfn sem er eins og vel æft leikrit. Vel æft, stíft, kalt en líka fallegt. Við hin fáum að vera með, í beinni útsendingu, fyllumst lotningu, syrgjum með, almúginn stendur fyrir utan. Lóa fór á fund Ragnheiðar Kristjánsdóttur, prófessors í sagnfræði við Háskóla Íslands - því að það er allt í einu eins og allir séu orðnir royalistar við fráfall þessarar krúttlegu gömlu konu. Dórófónn er elektró-akústískt selló hannað af Halldóri Úlfarssyni, upphaflega sem hálfgerður leikmunur í myndlistarverki. En 15 árum síðar hefur hljóðfærið verið notað í óskarsverðlaunatónlist og verður nú sýnt í hinni fornfrægu hljóðfæraborg Cremona á Ítalíu. Við hringjum í Halldór til Aþenu og fræðumst það hvernig maður kemur nýju og óhefðbundnu hljóðfæri í notkun hjá tónlistarfólki. Heiða Vigdís Sigfúsdóttir flytur sinn þriðja pistil í Lestinni um sögu og menningu Argentínu. Að þessu sinni beinir hún sjónum sínum að bókum, Jorge Luis Borges og fleiri hetja argentískrar bókmenntasögu.

Syrg joins us to talk about the infamously bad Silicon Knights game "X-Men: Destiny". We are not taking offers for debates at this time.
This week Garrett can't come up with a good title, but it's okay as we have a guest on in the form of Syrg and we discuss the possibility of Digi Costco.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This episode changes completely after session 11 due to the switch up of Syrg and Kaz DMing and redoing the Apafi's Tower Arc, hence why the second session starts in the middle of another combat in a different location. While Joey was curled up in his nightgown and Miriam too tired to care, the rest of the party went to investigate a strange infernal palace that was not of fire but of ice. Inside they met a treasure hunter that Banaramawitz decided right away to fight. Then, timelines loop and reverse as the game goes back to Apafi's Tower as they are now under the guidance of temporary DM Kaz. After a messy encounter with Kobolds and gears, they stumbled around with several unhelpful Helper robots. After an intense obsession with a slab of concrete, they discover why there's even concrete in this non-concrete tower: A Medusa and guards are out for their flesh, and they take great risk in combating them.

What’s it like when someone doesn’t particularly care about the Souls series, but is surrounded by people that do? That’s the question we answer on this week’s DGUS. I know syrg from the Duckfeed Slack, and when I put a call out for people that don’t hate the Souls series, but have tried it and failed to bond with it, he answered. We talk about Demon’s, DS1, and Scholar, as well as a surprisingly in-depth look into Lords of the Fallen. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode #58 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast. Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life. In this episode, Tracey is joined by Sheraz Mian, Zacks Director of Research, and a former oil analyst, to discuss where the oil market stands at the end of 2016 and what oil stocks investors should be looking at heading into 2017. Tracey and Sheraz first discussed the oil stocks in late 2015 when the crude sell-off was just in the first innings. It wouldn’t hit $25 until February 2016. Back in 2015, Tracey and Sheraz were both worried about which companies had the best balance sheets and how many would survive the most vicious sell off in crude in the last 50 years. But a year later, the story has changed. The US and International rig counts have bottomed and are slowly starting to trickle up. Crude is up off its lows and while it’s not near the $60 or $70 level many thought it would be at the end of the year, it’s in a zone where the oil companies can make money. Cost cutting is mostly complete which means fewer layoffs. The lending situation has also improved which makes it easier for energy companies to renegotiate loans with their banks. Where does this leave investors looking to get into oil stocks? WTI has fallen 14% this fall which has pushed down the exploration and production stocks from their 2016 highs. Sheraz believes this is a buying opportunity in that area, especially for long term investors. In the short term, he still expects crude and the oil stocks to be volatile. The Best Oil Stocks for 2017 1. Chevron (CVX) is the “safe” play and Sheraz’s favorite among the Big Oil stocks. 2. Apache (APA) just made a big discovery in the Alpine High and analysts believe this has big potential in the next few years. Tracey owns this stock in her personal portfolio. 3. EOG Resources (EOG) is very diversified. It has over 14,000 drilling locations in numerous areas. 4. Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) has one of the best balance sheets in the industry. 5. In the small and mid-cap E&P sectors, look at Whiting Petroleum (WLL) which is strong in the Baaken and Synergy (SYRG), a small E&P in the Wattenberg in Colorado. The insiders have been buying shares in SYRG. Sheraz also thinks investors can poke around in some of the big service companies. With some rigs being reactivated, the first contractors they will call are companies like Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL). Sheraz and Tracey still think it’s too early to get into the niche oil service companies like those that transport personnel to the rigs or provide safety gear. The industry, while on the upswing, isn’t yet at full throttle. Those might be plays later in 2017. What else should you know about the oil stocks and how to play them? Tune into this week’s podcast to find out.

Gotta say this will be a weird one, Syrg. It's a dicey thing to talk about, hopefully we treat the subject matter with a respect that is completely lacking in the original product.
