What the hell?

So what exactly does negative oil prices mean?

I know it can't be good for we the consumer, but I don't understand what it does mean.

[lilwhitelie]

I would assume it means it finally cost more to ship it etc than what the bottom line of profit would be. Like having a gallon of milk it costs you 1$ to make yet 2$ to get to market. You lose money. I bet you will see an increase in atvs, guns, trucks, boats, etc in the months coming. Oil industry is a ways from coming back. Covid relief may last a month or so if that then will ramp up 10 fold especially this fall.

They said yesterday‘s move was kind of like a short squeeze because the May oil contracts expired yesterday and no one could take delivery so they literally had to pay out of their purchase contracts. (I’m sure that sucked for a lot of people)

I have no idea how it would’ve worked if you were someone not otherwise in the market who wanted to buy one of those contracts yesterday. I think they are written in increments of 1000 barrels at a time?

But if this persists I guess at some point the gasoline pumps will have to operate like ATM machines dispensing cash back to customers for the privilege of storing fuel in our tanks since they would have nowhere else to store it?

What a thread!

Folks are sheltering at Lowe's,
Turkey hunting in crowds,
Doing stupid stuff that hurts their body, and
Looking for cheap gas.

This COVID's got everybody flustered!

And I ain't immune neither, dammit! So far, I have -

mowed the yard within an inch of it's life,
refinished a desk for Daddy's little angel,
put together a swing set for Daddy's little angel,
fixed a fence,
become a fantastic school teacher/administrator for Daddy's little angel,
planted a garden from seeds left over by the In-Laws (God only knows what those seeds were),
cleaned and organized a shed, the attic, and the garage - - - twice,
read a lot,
changed up a couple of rooms in the house,
stopped being surprised to find Amazon boxes at the house because the wife is buying up the world, and
a few other odd things/stuff/activities/etc. that are too unbelievable to mention on this here iterweb thingy.

Y'all have a nice day.

Careful about the chiteaters. Years ago my daughter was shacking with a highway patrolman and they got into it over her dog. The dog stayed the trooper got the boot! Rule 1 keep Moma happy...

[missed mallards]

The irony. My lab decided to go through my back door today! He was so excited that he finally didn’t need us to open the door for him! Needless to say mama is not happy with him at the moment.

I observed this group of hogs were not practicing social distancing so I showed them the error of their ways the other night.

I know we don’t want an outbreak of the swine flu again.

Andy your on the run rifle shots still never fail to impress.

[Seymore]

My wife, 4 daughters, and 1 granddaughter have all been here at the house since Spring break. My son in law is an engineer and surveyor and I've come close to asking him to let me go on surveying jobs just to get out of this estrogen pool. I've been living by the old proverb "a rolling stone gathers no moss." If I sit in one place long enough they will find me crap to do.

[novacaine]

Seymore, i will sneak off from time to time to avoid the " hey could you _________"
When i resurface they ask where i was hiding and what was i doing?
Standard reply is Man stuff.

[Wildfowler]

I’ve got nine racks of ribs I’m going to be cooking tomorrow. What’s the rest of the gang got going on this weekend?

[teul2]

Andy,
We spent some time at camp, cooking, fishing, making s'mores with the kid, and the like. It was a damn fine weekend.

[Wildfowler]

I did that too. And it was fun.

I just got a rain on some corn I got in the ground last week so things are looking up.

[Wildfowler]

Hey I was just browsing another topic that popped up here earlier today and I noticed the statistics at the bottom of the page said there were seven other humans in one bot besides me here right now. Sound off if you got a pair?

And on this page it says there’s 11 other human beings here.

What about all the rioting and looting in the streets? Glad they don’t do that sheet around here?
