Dear Reader,
Let me tell you about the biggest oil play you're not paying attention to.
Venezuela.
A country almost twice the size of California sitting on 300 billion barrels of oil. That's not a typo. 300 billion. About 20% of the world's total supply. Nearly four times what the United States has in the ground.
The Motherlode: Venezuela sits on 300 billion barrels of proven oil reserves—20% of global supply and 4X what the U.S. has
The Problem (And Opportunity): Decades of sanctions, political instability, and crumbling infrastructure left this oil locked underground
The Smart Money Move: Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil are "monitoring developments"—corporate speak for "we're getting ready"
Hidden inside the Big Beautiful Bill are new carve-outs that could slash your tax bill, multiply your income, and protect your family's wealth. Donald Trump and I wrote the only book that shows you exactly how. Click here to claim your copy!
Bigger than Saudi Arabia. Bigger than Iran. Bigger than Kuwait.
And it's been locked up for years because of sanctions, political chaos, and infrastructure that fell apart from neglect.
Until now.
What Just Changed Everything
Following the dramatic capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the United States is suddenly in a position to influence the future of the world's largest oil reserves.
Think about what that means.
President Trump already announced his plan over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago. He's going to bring in major U.S. energy companies to spend billions fixing Venezuela's broken oil infrastructure and get that oil flowing again.
"We are going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken oil infrastructure and start making money for the country," Trump said.
Translation: The gates just opened. And the smart money is already paying attention.
Why Nobody's Been Able to Touch This Gold Mine
Here's the catch. Venezuela's oil isn't the easy stuff. Most of it is heavy and extra-heavy crude that needs specialized equipment, constant maintenance, and advanced refining capacity.
All of that infrastructure? It deteriorated after years of underinvestment, U.S. sanctions, and political instability.
Same story you've seen in places like Iran and Libya. When countries fall apart politically, their oil stays locked underground no matter how much they've got.
But here's what poor dads miss and rich dads understand: chaos creates opportunity.
When everyone else is scared, that's when fortunes get made.
The Question Is
The question isn't whether American Energy Dominance is real. It is. The question isn't whether Venezuelan oil is coming back online. It is. The question isn't whether energy stocks will explode. They will. The question is whether you'll be positioned to profit from this shift. Will you be one of the early movers? Will you be one of the smart money? Will you be one of the people celebrating their profits? Or will you be one of the people regretting that you didn't act?
The Big Players Are Already Positioning
Chevron—the only U.S. oil giant currently operating in Venezuela—released a very carefully worded statement. They're "following relevant laws and regulations" and staying "focused on the safety and well-being of our employees, as well as the integrity of our assets."
Corporate speak for: We're already there. We're watching. We're ready.
ConocoPhillips said they're "monitoring the developments in Venezuela" and the "potential implications for global energy supply and stability." But it would be "premature to speculate on any future business activities or investments."
Translation: We're interested. We're studying it. But we're not tipping our hand yet.
ExxonMobil, the biggest U.S. oil company? They're staying quiet. Which often means they're moving quietly.
Why This Could Be Bigger Than the Texas Oil Boom
Think about the numbers. 300 billion barrels. Even if only half of that becomes economically viable to extract, we're talking about a resource bigger than almost anything else on the planet.
The companies that get in early—before the infrastructure is rebuilt, before production ramps up, before everyone else figures out what's happening—those companies and their investors are going to make generational wealth.
This is exactly what happened in Texas. What happened in the North Sea. What happened in the Gulf of Mexico.
Early investors made fortunes. Late investors made pennies.
What You Need to Know Right Now
U.S. energy companies have the technology, the expertise, and now potentially the access to unlock this. Venezuela has the reserves but needs billions in investment to make it work.
That's the deal.
Trump's setting up the framework. The big oil companies are "monitoring" and "evaluating." That means they're getting ready to move.
Here's what smart investors are doing right now:
Watch which companies announce Venezuela projects first. Those are your early movers.
Look at service companies that specialize in heavy crude and infrastructure rebuilding. They'll get contracts before the oil even flows.
Pay attention to refineries capable of processing heavy Venezuelan crude. They'll be worth their weight in gold.
And remember: by the time this story is all over CNBC and everyone's talking about it, the big money will already be made.
The question is simple. Do you want to be early? Or do you want to watch from the sidelines while someone else gets rich?
Poor dads wait for certainty. Rich dads move on opportunity.
Venezuela just became the biggest opportunity in oil since the shale revolution.

P.S. STOP! Don't You DARE Buy Gold Right Now.
I don't care if gold is at $4,500. I don't care if everyone says it's going to $5,000. If you buy gold now, you're making a costly mistake. There's a smarter play that could hand you 11X the profits. But the window closes on December 10th when a government meeting changes everything.
