    $119 folks.

    Do we hear $150 by morning?

    Wonder how small that small price stays small before it's considered very pricey.

    It opened back up and now oil is already down in low 80's. This won't be a long term issue by any means. Also seen someone took a massive loss on 15.4MIL bid on futures. They lost everything in a matter of hours from 119 to 84. He had to stay above 94.5. Oil is pretty easy to understand but you better know everything going on to make a push like that.

    So prices should be dropping already then. They went up immediately they need to go down the same way. Oh wait it doesnt work like that…
