    In light of the prices being negative for oil this week, should we all go buy a tanker and store some gas or crude in our yard? Seems like this is when the rich get richer...buy cheap sell high!

    many thoughts?

    For the 1st time EVER, oil prices posted a NEGATIVE $37 dollars a barrel. Besides, with the reduced travel, all the stations are full and tankers are sitting. Even the crude oil tankers, there's nowhere to store it.

    The problem is gasoline has a shelf life...diesel can store quite a bit longer. If you bought 10 tankers and filled them with gasoline, in 6 months it would likely be expired...it might take more than 6 mo to get out of this crisis...
