Never forget oil is not only energy but also lubrication anything that moves must be lubricated. All of the green energy people speak of cannot progress or be developed without oil and its byproducts. They are developing carbon fiber. The material of the future. Oil is one of the easiest sources to access to provide carbon. So oil may not reach 2 or $300 per Bbl. It doesn't have to. In order to make money the share price needs to cycle thru highs and lows. You can't make gains on a stock, future or option if the price remains stable. Money is made by the investor on fluctuations. If it' down trending, Negative EPS as compared to LQ and 2ndQ Back , R/G is Negative failure to pass the last high before reversing down again. plus a few other checks, Go Short with a Buy to Cover in place. The easiest way I find to work the market is not buy or sell company value. That is what the heard mentality does. Use Value to establish initial entry being sure it won't collapse. Then once an entry position is taken. Buy or sell the emotion of the heard. When you see it spiking, all the analysts are screaming buy. Either tighten your stops or take profits. Analysts are not your friends. They come in two shades Buy and Sell side analysts. They get paid to write stories that will excite the retail crowd into buying when a firm wants to sell and vice versa. At the bottom they say it will never come back while funds accumulate. Think about it. Who pays them ! To fully work the market you must both go long and Short otherwise it is like playing crib with only half of the deck. Since I retired I spend much of my day studying or trading in the market. Win some Loose some but so far I'm still ahead in the game. First started trading before the age of computers. 1972 I like it is a game which challenges the mind. I have investments but principally I am a swing trader. usually hold no longer that a week or so. Sometimes in and out the same day.
