From what I can tell the average ET member doesn't understand oil futures, SPR, trading, economics, life, the value of an education and the ability to think independently, life ... The average ET member is a member of the Illiterati.
Barrels purchased at a cost average of $29 sold much higher and purchased again lower is indeed a good trade. But the game isn't over yet. But making $4B on the trade only makes up a small amount of the hundreds of billions we gave to the Ukraine, unfortunately.
Are you against helping Ukraine defeat Russia? Right-wingers keep coming at me with "but Ukraine" but being pro-Russia is neither conservative nor American. The release of the SPR was never intended to provide a profit at all, much less cover the cost of Ukraine. But the profit is an unintended bonus for the American people. You can't possibly call yourself a conservative and be against helping Ukraine defeat Russia. I get that you can be a member of the current Republican party. But the GOP is no longer conservative. Are you really against Ukraine?
The cost of what we are giving to Ukraine for the damage that is being done to Russia is some of the best money spent in this nations history.Just like the damage that was done to Russia after the Russia/Afghan war(that democrats Carter and Brzezinski set up) that left Russia weak for decades Russia will be weak for decades and not a major threat to The US after this Ukraine war. Weakening Russia for the next 20-30 years for the small amount that we are giving Ukraine is one of the biggest bargains in this nations history.
Some say, best trade since the Louisiana purchase except all those states from the LA purchase are a bunch of red welfare leeches so I dunno.
