    Tomorrow they will say that oil fell because of OPEC, Russia, Saudi Arabia. But this is not true..


    The customer - Federal Reserve System
    The Contractor - City Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase


    These are the three largest futures oil players in the market.


    The customer has only two goals - that the dollar grows stronger and that the dollar remains the world's reserve currency. The second is the depreciation of national currencies of other countries. especially the currencies of those countries whose budgets are very dependent on the price of oil.
    You may be right, but you can't count. That's 3 goals

      If the oil price has gone negative, won't the Yanks have to start invading countries with no oil?!

          Send oil tankers to their harbours and scuttle them.

            De-paywalled in honour of the occasion, here’s Tracy Alloway’s 2015 story about trying to buy a barrel of crude: That Time I Tried to Buy an Actual Barrel of Crude Oil - Bloomberg

                  Bravo sir.

                  Of course the UK could recover some of the cost of the pandemic by charging $1 per barrel to spill the oil in Swindon.

                    Soon people will run their cars non-stop with bricks on the gas pedal just so they can go get some more?

                      Exxon Mobile looks inexpensive and I think we're hitting new lows. My finger hovered over the buy button and then I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves.....

                      Amen
                      I'm alright Jack
