What's the most effective way to trade a potential spike in Brent? Could trade USO options, but WTI futures often diverge from Brent.

@Lt. Col. Tall

There has to be brent crude oil fund, no? Off the top of my head i dont know. Thats a good question. Problem with these funds is always the futures curve.

RLOG,TOPS lost every little bit of profits this morning:mjcry:

Went from being up a few thou to in the hole 200-300:mjcry:

Guess you can't cry about what you never had:francis:

Set Stop Losses and stick to them breh. That's the only way to avoid this situation. Just move them up as profit increases and have a hard line for any loses when setting them after the initial purchase. That way you're covered in either a losing or winning situation.

I see now,Im still new to this so I didn't realize it could go south that quickly:mindblown:. I was at work watching off and on,next thing I knew I was down thousands. I had a stop loss in my head that if my account dropped under a certain dollar ammount I would sell. I'll probably come back and gamble with these shippers again next year. I've seen people saying they lost 10's of thousands,so I can't complain.

Im making alot of mistakes though,i also got a free ride violation. I wasn't about to get caught holding that bullshyt:damn:.

Happened to me a lot early on (still happens from time to time when I let emotions dictate things :skip:)

Setting stop losses greatly reduces risk though and keeps you from making bad decisions.

TVIX only up 6% while the VIX is up 20%. Shyt needs to catch up already :beli:

Overstock :banderas:


Only own five shares but it's got me up over $50 so far today and it's got a projected target of $85. So I'm loving it right now.

Have to step those numbers up breh:win:

Price targets from investment banks are generally garbage, though, so don't put too much faith in what they say. Overstock is exploring strategic options, so be wary of any analyst upgrades looking to bring in investment banking business to their firm.

You heard of six figure guy? Well I'm half figure guy, lol. Wish I would've gotten more. Just jumped in maybe on Monday or last Friday. But yeah I'm just happy for any small wins. Was up over $60 today so that's huge with my like $2400 balance. But yeah gotta be wary and get out at the right moment.

TRXC CC right now this sounds like it's going to shoot up. A lil furious rn

Its a frustrating stock,news doesn't even keep it up. I think long term its a good buy but I think you will have plenty of chances to get in.

Currently up $80 today. Not six figure breh figures but might be my highest ever. On a roll lately. If I can get just like $100 a week I would be happy just seeing results. But this is even better. Checking my statement I had a balance of 2291 on October 31 and now it's almost 2550. No deposits since I only put once every other month. Slow grind but it's a positive one.
