The site was sufficiently influential that its closing has been written about in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Financial Times, and in industry publications such as Platts. As a Financial Times article noted, over the years the mainstream media frequently quoted TOD contributors, and the reason was the high quality of the energy discussions on the site.
I had a history with TOD that I detailed in my farewell post there, The Way I Saw Things. I became involved with TOD shortly after its inception and remained involved to a limited degree up until the end. I want to share my abridged story because my interactions with TOD readers had a huge influence on the way I view the energy industry and human behavior. This in turn has influenced my investment philosophy.In 2005, the year TOD was formed, I was working as a chemical engineer at the ConocoPhillips refinery in Billings, Montana. I worked in the group that was responsible for optimizing refinery economics. We determined which crude grades should be purchased, and then tweaked the refinery based on that crude slate as well as whether margins were higher for diesel or for gasoline.

One specific example is Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B), the global oil behemoth.

When judging a company's prospects, how quickly it turns cash outflows into cash inflows can be just as important as how much profit it's booking in the accounting fantasy world we call "earnings."
