Title: Wish I had about $20k
Post by: Brad Johnson on February 11, 2009, 05:41:08 PM

Dang, wish I had about 20k to put into futures.  RBOB gasoline closed at a quarter over $36 today.  It's been hanging aroun the $40 mark for a couple of weeks, but today decided to take a nose dive about an hour before close.  If past trends are any indicator it will rebound over the next few days to somewhere in the low/mid $40's.

If I had the cash I'd buy some and put it on a $43.50 sell, a 20% gain, then watch the heck out of it in cased it stalled somewhere just short (in which cased I'd punch the button anyway).

There's a lot of inventory off the coast in tankers, sitting there.

Hopefully. A lot of people are disgusted with efforts to turn it into Massachusetts 2.

The problem is the Mass transplants, who came here for the "quality of life", escaping Mass, but are such utter morons that they then vote the same way they voted in Mass.

Liberals are like locusts. They destroy one field and move on to another, destroy that too, and keep spreading to ruin other areas, leaving behind barren wastelands.
