    I'm hedging on corrupt market manipulation & insider trading. Thoughts?

    OPEC and allies reportedly set for video meeting as analysts pour skepticism on Trump’s intervention
    • It comes less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump told CNBC that he expected OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia and non-OPEC leader Russia to take up to 15 million barrels of crude off the market.
    • Brent settled up more than 21% on Thursday, registering its best day since contract inception in 1989, while WTI closed up over 24%, also marking its best-ever daily rally.
    • “Donald Trump’s tweet … It’s nonsense, really,” Patrick Armstrong, chief investment officer at Plurimi Investment Managers, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” on Friday.

    It's doesn't seem all that complicated to me. Buy USO under $5 and hold for 12-18 months.

    Putin must want all the sanctions lifted. Can Trump deliver that before an election with the democrat/MSM anti Russian hysteria?

    Should be interesting. I definitely don't have the stomach to hold CL at the moment.

    but yea...if some agreement is reached there may be a spike to high 20's; BUT this isn't a supply problem as much as it is a DEMAND problem...we are sinking into a "depression like" environment...only MASSIVE cuts will keep oil from the high teens over the next months

    the "Russian Hysteria" is justified; Trump owes russian oligarchs much money...They bought loans (or were assigned loans) from Deutsche Bank (spelling ?)
