I dont have a chart. but from my poor memory it seems to me oil went down from $125 crashed down to like $25 a year or so ago. and then went up to like 75 and now going back down below 50. Oil is too wild for my taste. I hear it is great place to make money if correct or get bankrupted if...

you damn well better start and complete a monthly payment plan to replace every penny lost. YOU STOLE YOUR SONS MONEY. YOU ARE A CROOK. THIEF. DAMN YOU TO HELL!

It has to be easier to trade stocks than futures. with futures if you hold on for an extra 5 minutes you might lose your money with stocks you might hold your stock for 20 years before taking profits. futures require that you be super precise in everything you do. no wiggle room for...
