In this episode, Robert Helms sits down with our friend, oil expert, and President of PANEX, RJ Burr. They discuss the increasing demand for American oil, how the company finds and produces it, and what that means for investors—including potential income, tax advantages, and a way to diversify into a real asset many overlook.
