    Interactive Brokers takes 88 million dollar loss on behalf of clients trading futures. They say it doesn't affect their financial position but I'll stick with one of the large banks as my broker.

    Trump will swing to the federal reserves when all the tanks are corked.

    Free oil for a rainy day.

    If US government is looking to make a shrewd investment decision, they should wait to fill SPR. if they are looking to support the oil industry, they should start sooner. Even though I personally don't think they can store enough to really impact the physical storage situation, it's a powerful signal, and the market seems to be heavily weighted towards emotion.

    I thought they already filled the strategic reserve?

    They never got approval from the house is my understanding. There were some talks about leasing space in it as storage to private companies.

    To my knowledge not a drop of the 2020 glut has made it into SPR.

    That makes no sense on multiple levels.

    Agreed, it seems like low hanging fruit to me.

    Timeline below which is hilarious, filling SPR was part of the initial stimulus plan in March ( 10th? ) then this happened:

    the EIA publishes this data weekly. The twitterverse is not a good source of this information.

    Especially China is storing as much $10 oil from Iran as they can right now.

    Worlds largest crude futures ETF may have to dump June contract early as a repeat of the negative priced may contract seems imminent.

    Shits going to get crazier than last week....

    Also, I don't follow Twitter to hear thoughts on filling the SPR, but I wonder if the weekly EIA report will show any storagee fill this week? Seems like easy math. Buy contracts for under $10.

    Everything is green today. Nice inflection point with several of my positions net crossing back over to book profitability with some of the dip buying since the start of this mess.

    Not sure I believe it long term but it’s still nice to see.

    First time in months all of my positions have become net positive.

    The CNQ shares I picked up for 15 bucks have certainly helped take the edge off.

    well, @Buster , @Darkane , the SPR has started some filling, but will it make a difference? Total USA production is remarkably resilient. 12,100,000 barrels a day as of this weeks report. 1,200,000 barrels of that went straight into storage tanks every day, but only 164,000 barrels went into SPR.

    For funzies, the SPR holds ~797 million barrels, and the EIA says it has 636 million in it. If it's putting in 164 thousand barrels a day, then it can do this for . . . . . more than two and a half years . . . . . They have engineering limitations of something like 430,000 barrels per day, which would still take more than a year to fill.

    Yeah. They’re not cutting as fast as I thought either.

    I feel like the storage situation is going to get totally crazy very soon. But hell, what do I know? Orderly shut-ins are one thing. Emergency shut-ins are coming, and some of those have the possibility of long term damage to equipment and reservoirs.
