This thread is full of oil trades. Until you start seeing numerous defaults and bankruptcies AND supply come down, it's a gamble with huge potential losses. What do you think any of us know about Middle East stability AND how it will impact oil supply?FatUncleJerryBuss said:So, this was a joke too?I wouldn't go all in, but a piece of a Roth makes sense to me. Historically its been up to 100x that price. Hitting that return tax-free would be really sweet.All in! UWTI! Doooo it!
Of course the Middle East is so stable, there no way we could likely have any future oil supply disruptions to drive the price back up./sarcasm
Agree with the sentiment. I'm adding aggressively to VGT over the next few months and will pick up some GOOG, MSFT, FB, AMZN since I prefer those names to AAPL and would like to be equally invested (VGT doesn't hold AMZN and its biggest holding is AAPL).XOM
COP
CVX
HP
OXY
Best of the best picks in the major oil space. Long term at these levels? $$$$ But again it is a risk short term. But I think 4th quarter the recovery will begin for the oil sector and continue through 2017/18
The market has been a blood bath since May of 2015. But it was long overdue for a correction.
Here it is. And we still have more downside pressure. But again for long term investors a great buying opportunity and if your fully invested....relax.

Oil is down almost 5%I don't follow why UCO is down 9%, OIL is up 0.5% and UGA is down 4%. I know the textbook reason, but it's still strange to observe.
No because most of the recent plays are shorter depletion and their leaseholds were written really poorly. Every other ######## was a landman in 2008 and they got midstreams to rubberstamp anything. Things are getting to the point where they CAN'T shut off.http://ibankcoin.com/flyblog/2016/01/15/how-bad-is-the-commodity-related-debt-crisis/
"The amount of commodity related debt whose share prices are trading under $5 is now an astounding $526 billion."
With these guys indebted, will the safer names cut production or wait for a flush out? Do you guys see oil and commodities rebounding before the supply and debt issues are resolved?

I'm looking to make a quick 500-1000 and dump it, or close out toward the end of the day, even if its a loss.
This is where I'm at...these guys will be pure gold as soon as this year. I'll probably get in around Q2 and play the long game on these guys.But when it happens......those that bought high quality major integrated players like COP, CVX, XOM, BP, DVN, OXY and drillers like HP and Andarko and foreign players like RDS'A, TOT and SLB will see ton of gains. Those that invest for the long term at these levels will be greatly rewarded by 2018 and 2019 when oil probably be in the mid to high 60's again. Of course I could be wrong...but I have seen this movie several times in oil.

In for 300 @ 45.37HUGEBetting against the exuberance to last all day with 200 shares of UVXY
I'm not an expert, but I'm not sure those yields will hold. I was in a driller was 9% that got rid of it's divvy completely.I was personally 15% early. I can live with that while collecting 5-7% yields which are sustainable in these companies. I am even going to average down on some of the big names soon (XOM, COP, CVX, DVN, OXY, HP, TOT). Oil should be finding a bottom soon. It has too. It's getting stupid.
Again I could be early again averaging down if oil drops to 25-26.....so what. Those companies I mentioned are huge. They will survive and thrive over the next 5-10 years.
But again Oil won't move up (with any significance) till probably Q4/2016 at the earliest. So much negative sentiment right now.....the bottom is near.
Nice guysIn for 300 @ 45.37HUGEBetting against the exuberance to last all day with 200 shares of UVXY

Thank you cos
Same. Been grabbing Apple for a few weeks now.Even with all the selling, nothing looks that cheap to me...
The only thing I'm strongly considering right now is Apple... Possibly XLE as a long term hold. I just don't see oil going far below $20, $17-$18 the lowest and XLE with a 3.5% dividend as a play to hold forever appears to be priced nicely for an average of 7% a year over the next 10.
Not moving up nearly as much as expected with the markets in death spiral.cosjobs said:Weird that gold is down almost 5% today. Its not like i ran up recently. Seems there should be some movement towards "safe haven" in this environment.
Bought 25 contracts for a nickel a share ($125) to get back to 13.50 by Friday.
Hell, it was at 13.25 this morning.
When it sounds too good to be true....you know the rest.I remember thinking about what a deal I got on these when I bought them![]()
08/13/2015 13:06:52 Bought 400 UCO @ 22.48
08/13/2015 15:54:50 Bought 270 FCX @ 10.0799
I've mentioned it a few times, XLE, energy sector, nice dividend... I don't know if we are there yet, but soon will make a nice steady income producing asset.So I've been loading up on Apple.
I see no reason to buy any oil until the tide changes, there'll be plenty of time to participate there.
Anything in the 25-75 dollar a share range look really good to anyone here or worth researching?
