it is an example of having prior warning IF you are paying attention. They do not make that sort of dosh I know that. Don't turn this into a pity thing as the warnings were all present. I get it anon-it's hurting the workers but this is life.

Bottom-Calling Bets on $4.3 Billion ETF Go Bad Amid Oil Plunge

 

Historic turmoil in the oil market is proving painful for investors who just piled into a $4.3 billion energy ETF.

 

The United States Oil Fund LP, or USO, plunged more than 10% in pre-market trading, with crude tumbling below $12 a barrel amid an unprecedented supply and demand imbalance. USOโ€™s slide came after investors plowed $1.6 billion into the fund last week โ€“ the biggest weekly influx on record for the exchange-traded fund.

 

USO is a popular choice for retail investors looking to bet on short-term price reversals, buying dips and selling rallies. However, those bets soured Monday as slower demand exacerbates a fast-growing glut of oil.

 

โ€œTraditionally, this product is used to play mean reversion. It also attracts outsiders whenever oil is so low it makes the nightly news,โ€ said Eric Balchunas, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. โ€œSo itโ€™s basically an overcrowded bottom-calling trade gone bad.โ€

 

State Streetโ€™s $8.6 billion Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, ticker XLE, dropped 5.7% before the market open. Meanwhile, the $1.7 billion SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, ticker XOP, fell 6.5%.

 

USO, which accounts for about 25% of all outstanding contracts in West Texas Intermediate crude futures, said last week that it will move 20% of its contracts from the nearest month to the second-traded month. The issuer cited market and regulatory conditions in announcing the shift as coronavirus-related fears open up a gap between plunging prices for the nearest dates and the following month.

they are not different when both are a result of paper trading. You are missing this. The paper trade is imploding as there is already too much oil. What part of storage areas have been full for a long time is being missed with this?

No one said decoupling from the petro-dollar would be easy. Plenty of warning
