API Report - Mostly Bad News
Biggest points:
- The API said that U.S. crude stocks rose 4.6 million barrels to 374.8 million barrels in the week to April 24, more than twice the 2.1 million barrel build forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts. (Bad News)
- Gasoline stocks fell 2.6 million barrels to 216 million barrels, the API said, against the forecast for a 200,000 barrel drawdown. (Good News)
- Distillate supplies rose 2.6 million barrels, to 144.4 million barrels, way above the forecast for a 600,000 barrel increase, the API said. (Bad News)
Last week this report was much different from the official report that will be released later this morning.bad report seems to mean the opposite these days. hahaha. Watch DXO shoot up today now.
The contango tightened up. The summer is almost here and I think it's why front end oil is nearly the same. DXO is trading to second month oil (July contracts), but June starts the summer.What will cause summer oil to separate pricewise from current oil??? Two weeks age $50 current oil would equal $3.00 DXO.
Care to explain???Added 500 SCO at 32.05Time to get out of oil temporarily people.
Agreed.Sold PRGN and FEED at a small profit and cost averaged DTO down to 176 and change.Added 500 SCO at 32.05Time to get out of oil temporarily people.
Swine flu restricting travel = less demandAPI report already showed growing stockpiles. If EIA confirms, could be big sell offCare to explain???Added 500 SCO at 32.05Time to get out of oil temporarily people.
Probably have to have a hair trigger here, though. The peak of the post inventory report sell-off has been measured in milliseconds in each of the past two weeks.Swine flu restricting travel = less demandAPI report already showed growing stockpiles.

I'll play...Just sold 1000 PRGN at $3.264 for a profit of $85.Add some more conspiracy theories here (This time PRGN stock). Reading their news, they have authority to sell 10 million more shares. But with average volume of just 480,000 a day, these are being leaked into the marketplace slowly every day. It's like the stock has an anchor. From what I can gather the company is letting the stock bounce in the morning and then selling them off the rest of the day.How can you profit from this? I am going to start taking positions with PRGN with a few minutes to close each day. Then wait for the bump in the morning to sell and repeat. Eventually when all 10 million shares get sold this stock could pop big. I also believe the company has a buy back situation and think they will start exercising that once they have artificially lowered this stock. Mark my words we will see $4.50 within months here. I just expect to be able to make money every day here before locking down on it.
Oil Up.+4.1 mil barrels
There were huge short positions on this that needed to cover today. I knew I should have just waited this out, but I got out with no real scars.FEED back to a hair under $4.00. Kicking myself for not buying more in the $3.40's the last two days. Just been way too busy.Put in a limit purchase for 5,000 more FREE at $1.33. If it fills I'll put a GTC order out there to sell all I have at $1.38
Mine did not fill at all. Will take it down, I've already got 3,000 shares at $1.33Edit: Scratch that, 3,000 shares. I forgot my order last week didn't fill completely either.I put another order in for 10,000 FREE @ 1.33 but only got 1300 of them.

Good patience there. I think we all saw it. I unfortunately held a position pre-announcement or I would have profited big here. I think this goes higher, but the easy money is mostly out of this stock for the time being.BassNBrew said:Sold 1000 FEED at $3.97 for a $1572 profit after commissions.Thanks DD.Now let's get the Oranage Whip rolling to give us another buying opportunity.
Exactly, don't they know FBG already bought in here. I have a standing order to buy another 8700 shares at $1.33 so I am guessing it will just sit at $1.34 all dayFREE just sitting there like it's confused or something.Let's go, already.
It's interesting to see it take some very rapid upticks. It's already hit 1.38 on the day. Some of the swings are 0.05 points or more on very low volume.Exactly, don't they know FBG already bought in here.

Here's a chart of FREE, and I would like you to note the sideways trend (horizontal price movement that occurs when the forces of supply and demand are nearly equal) over the past few weeks. Some chartists believe that it signals a consolidation period before the price continues in the direction of the previous move; in this case up. Some traders also refer to it coiling before an upward spring.It's unnerving, but I figure I can be patient.FREE just sitting there like it's confused or something.

I don't understand this part. How would we get the dividend if we are day trading the stock?Also they are still paying out 5 cents quarterly dividends. That alone is about a 6% yield.
