I've said before, my total losses exceeds my gains, however, since sticking to oil futures, I've made some good money overall.
It was the early days with random large bets that lost me the bulk of my money.
Hope you got a big stop.....

If oil keeps falling, think how cheap it will be at the petrol station.

I get it.
Basically DimPrawn is acting as a hedge fund: he buys oil futures and if they go up then he'll make money that will be taken from his pocket at the petrol station, and if oil falls he'll save money on fuel he buys there.
The trick is to put only so much in futures so that your gains/losses would reflect actual fuel costs at the pump.
Innit?
