    Bloody hell seems halifax knew me better than myself. Not to say I wouldn't have sold out at a profit but seems oil is low again. Is the simplest option still just to buy some big oil shares, Shell BP or something such as?

    Price now is -$7.50 (negative $7.50).
    BP and Shell (and other producer/refiners) should come out of this well IMHO.
    Unless you think we'll never use Oil products again.


    May contract expires tomorrow, June contract is still around $20 / barrel.
