Not a stupid question at all. The thing is, no one is buying any oil right now. Still, the deadline for WTI futures contract is tomorrow. When the Brent Crude contract deadline nears, perhaps it will have a huge drop as well. As has been said, there simply isn't anywhere to put the oil, so no one is buying anything, but the contracts are still due tomorrow for WTI.

Wow.

Between oil suppliers/storage yes, that’s negative territory.

No, gas is a refined product and ethanol as a blend component also has to be taken into account. Then there’s the tax man. It will take a few days and stations will look to see what the June delivery contracts price is before changing things (potentially dramatically).

To answer my earlier question about if we had already filled the strategic reserves. Nope, blocked by Chuck Schumer. Congress needs to act immediately and buy up as much as we can store, and expand storage if possible. Buy cheap and stock it deep.

This is really going to suck for those states that base their budget on the price of crude oil.

I'm sitting behind 350,000 barrels of tanker storage right now.

Unfortunately, I'm just paid to push it where they tell me.

So, thanks once again to the the GDC's, what little hay we could have made from this situation will be lost. Thanks Chuckie, have a hernia.

Indeed.

A good shot in the arm to the domestic oil industry in the short term, plus a solid strategic investment for the long run.

I could be wrong, but I would guess so. Where do you think they got the original material from?

There are some ETF's that track oil, and are just a few clicks away.


Where you going to put it? That is the problem. The potential buyers have no place to store it.

Seems like if they start shutting down oil fields and oil platforms, then in the long run we're all screwed once demand goes up again.

Which is what I suppose the Saudi's want.
