    Oil didn't really drop that much today in the big picture - they are measuring the immediate futures contract, which expires tomorrow. On Wednesday, Oil will be back above $20 as it rolls over to the new contract. The issue is that no one wants to actually own the oil that would be physically delivered using tomorrow's contract.

    The only way to buy oil at $10 is if you want it delivered to your house in the near future.

    May futures oil contract CL is $5.58. June currently at $22.52. Almost tempted to buy some futures contracts and have it delivered.

    What’s the play here on oil? Buy some leveraged oil ETF that bets that oil price will come back up. If I’d like to do that, what are my options. I had a buddy tell me $UWT but it looks like it’s paused or I can’t buy it.

    Did well with FLIR today shares and options. Sold all the options. Then sold half my shares and put a stop on the other half locking in a nice profit no matter what. Now I'm playing with house money.

    LOL. Oil is going go up like 800% tomorrow or Wednesday (not sure the exact time the contract expires) and people are going to be talking about the biggest rally ever in oil prices.

    SCO is something to consider, but it's up already, not sure how much further here. This is definitely not financial advice

    Empty KFC buckets are more expensive than a bucket of oil
