Maybe I’m in the minority here but techs and fundamentals say $15-20 bbl is likely. I have no play ATM and I want to get long too. Just seems a bit early.
Who knows...
Planning on rising these trades for 6 months. I basically threw discretionary money at it so let's call it a lottery ticket but no way OPEC lets Saudi and Russia fuck their payday me thinks...
Grabbed a small lottery ticket today (versus XOM and BP stock plays). I could not resist:
50 XOP JUNE 2021 $20 Calls @ $0.51
XOP Energy Sector ETF:
View attachment 221750
Target range is $20- $25 for XOP by end of the year (expiration is JUNE 2021 so no rush). OTM options always are lottery and low prob but feel good enough to risk $2,500 for holiday spending money.
If we get to $25 the Call should be worth no less than $5.00 so figure profit is not a home run really based on total profit but nice Xmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza gift in December for more hookers and blow.
Ehhh why not..like buying a lottery ticket for $1 and maybe winning $10k.
HeheheIf this trade pays off I am going to sink my dingy in a few places...
lolHehehe
I'm pretty sure Congress mandated the S.R. to be reduced back a few years ago. Like 5 million barrels/year are supposed to be sold. They did it because our domestic production has come so far.The first sign of life will be the government starting to refill/top-up the Strategic Reserve when its cheap to do so.
