To the Editor: How the Department of Energy is going to handle the Strategic Petroleum Reserve's restocking requirements, which are equivalent to 40 days of oil consumption, should be part of the inputs to the price of oil (" 13 Energy Stocks to Buy Even as Oil Prices Fall, According to Roundtable Pros," Cover Story, May 16). If properly managed by the Trump administration, it could create a floor for oil prices for a period of three to six months or more.

Bubble Bath

To the Editor: Randall W. Forsyth gives a very accurate read on the substantial bubble of our stock market (" How Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Could Spoil the Stock Market Party," Up & Down Wall Street, May 16). It is rare to see the most risky assets climb the most during such a rise in the bond market like we have seen this week.

There have been many bubbles in history, and none of them ended well.

Netflix Showstopper

To the Editor: Netflix spends a lot on original content, but hits are few (" Netflix Nears $500 Billion Market Cap. Why Its Stock Is Still a Buy Even at These Levels," May 15).

Customers might be better off subscribing once in a while to catch up on the good stuff and not pay a monthly fee throughout the year. Netflix's trillion-dollar market-cap goal by 2030 has been cleverly leaked to spike up the stock price. But the shares are too richly priced.

Medicaid Cuts

To the Editor: No one wants to deny coverage for the most vulnerable ( "How the Tax Bill Would Hurt America's Most Vulnerable," May 13). Surely, you don't need to cut enrollment with an axe. You can use a scalpel to remove healthy working-age adults without affecting the indigent. I don't understand this all-or-nothing logic that plays on emotion. Get some smart people together and be surgical.

Economic Justice

To the Editor: Today, much of Wall Street is so singularly focused on profit that it willingly ignores the loss of a truly free and fair market economy (" How Fund Managers Are Grappling With 'Autocracy Risk,' " Funds, May 14). Unfortunately, by the time it does choose to make a stand for economic justice, the risks to do so will be too great.
