Oil gonna crash today?

Quote from jonbig04:

I was thinking, if you were a truck driver or just someone who is really pissed of about gas prices, couldnt you just do some math and buy enough oil futures to where if the futures went down you would remake the money on cheaper gas and when gas goes up vice versa?

you mean hedging? Airlines and farmers do that.

Right, why dont we all do that to offset high gas prices? I mean i don't spend very much on gas so I wouldnt but if you're a trucker or someone who commutes why not?

Could hedging be part of the reason crude is where it is?
 
I still think oil sucks, no matter how high it goes. The Arabs and the govt. regulators have too much power. If you want to play global infrastructure & growth I recommend coal and potash. I still think oil will go to $200 but the risk/reward ratio isn't that good compared to alternatives.

Oil got routed in the 80's and it would suck to be long then. The cause has yet to be determined.
 
Yup oil crapping out as it always does

You have two huge days of buying and then weeks and weeks of selling

Everyone is complaining of rising oil but do they even look at the charts? It hasn't done anything in weeks.
