    you're possibly looking at two hurricane seasons before you could offload it at a decent price

    But you could also be like a certain auto manufacturer and just lose money for 17 years and end up being worth billions

    Bought a call in that crappy auto manufacturer when it dropped to 720 today and made a quick 900 bucks. Day trading is really easy you guys.

    I will inevitably end the day with a 1000 dollar loss to net -100.

    Looks like I’m the only one that understands oil prices falling 40% is good for both 1) the us economy and 2) companies trying to sell that oil

    The May contracts will expire and the June contracts will be the "listed price". so "the price of oil" will be up or down based on the june contracts, which are down ~10% today

    It's not going to change the long position of individual stocks too much, the way I'm reading the discussion.

    You'll have to get into some calls OXY or UCO, or the like, to really GK on this.

    7500 shares will cost you 90k, so maybe that volume isn't for everyone...but it's the right idea.

    In all fairness, even if the idea is to hold, OXY's not going to completely tank...oil it will get unfucked EVENTUALLY. So if you're buying it for the long hold, now's as good of a time as any.

    You might not make the money you're hoping to tomorrow, but no one else in here is buying 7500 shares either, so their immediate losses are likely to be negligible.

    Because it costs money and requires space to store oil, and anybody holding May contracts is about to be stuck with a bunch of fuckin oil.
