Within 24 hours, the lead crude oil futures contract in New York hit $39.99. Within a month crude oil futures were trading near $28 per barrel. Doctor Duarte was one of few analysts who made this prescient market call.

In early 2001 Dr. Duarte in "Successful Energy Sector Investing," and more widely in an interview with Thom Calandra at CBS Marketwatch correctly predicted that Venezuela's political problems could lead to an energy crisis in the United States.
