Cramer: The golden price for oil to bottom Jim Cramer congratulated oil speculators for getting the oil market dead wrong. Again. According to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's weekly commitment of traders report, large speculators, meaning money managers, were holding a net long position of 525,000 futures contracts just before oil dropped. They were betting on a huge spike in the price of crude. Carley Garner is a commodities expert and co-founder of DeCarley Trading, and said the position far exceeds the net-long position that speculators had prior to the massive oil decline in 2014. Garner said the odds favor a decline in the multi-year trend line of $47.50, but could potentially touch $44.30. "The spigot will get turned off as we approach those levels and it will become the same kind of self-fulfilling bottom we have seen before," the " Mad Money" host said. ?Watch the full segment here: Cramer: The golden price for oil to bottom 10 Hours Ago \| 07:36 With so many factors swirling in the oil patch right now concerning OPEC, production freezes, Russia and Iran, Cramer pointed to the massive inventory of crude as the most important issue on traders' minds. The U.S. crude inventory rose to 528 million barrels in the latest weekly petroleum status report, the largest since record keeping began. "That is what is driving the massive liquidation we are currently seeing. The speculators must have believed that OPEC would starve the market and we would stop producing at levels that weren't economic for most of our exploration and production companies," Cramer said. Turns out the speculators were wrong on both accounts. Cramer does not think that OPEC is cheating, and doesn't think it is voluntarily holding back more oil than it said it would. Cramer also does not predict that oil will go back to the $30s again, thanks to innovation in technology that allows producers to get more out of the ground for less. Back when oil was in the $50s, producers were selling oil to raise funds for drilling plans. With oil in the $40s, which is breakeven for a lot of producers, companies can cut back on all but for the most lucrative patches in the Permian Basin and Oklahoma. On Thursday, Marathon Oil sold its Canadian oil sands subsidiary for $2.5 billion, and then took $1.1 billion to buy 70,000 acres in the Permian, including 51,500 in the best part of the Permian, in the Delaware basin. "That is a sign that you still want to be buying stocks in companies located there, as well as the service companies and pipelines being built there," Cramer said. He recommended using the break in oil prices to snap up stocks in that region and to remember that when too many speculators lean to one side of the trade, it's best to run the other way and take the others side of the trade.

Nothing complicated about all those idle rigs who've been on vacation over the past 15 months. The market dialog rarely focuses on Demand side. Look the meeting in Houston where Saudi came to talk to shale and USA producers, could not have gone worse IMO. Look at a map of the permian….all that oil was put in by Chixilub impactor…it made all that oil in Venazooalia too… the whole area N S E W… from that blast is saturated with crude at various levels, pooled or not. We are not going back to peak oil..the mojo of established interests, needs a new bike with better feature set and a whole lot less friction on the pedals. Better move a whole lot of the old guard out because they do not yet get it. youtube.com
