He’s been called the King of Oil.

He made hundreds of millions of dollars by foreseeing the surges in oil prices of the 1970s.

As it turns out, it couldn’t have been more wrong. Odds are that anyone who bought and held anything since then came out ahead. Ironically, the longer they held, the greater the gains.

That's why savvy investors are starting to look here for a safe, high-reward investment opportunity in 2010.
