    Can't find the link right now, but earlier I read that gasoline sales are down 30% across the country.

      May futures expire tomorrow. If you're long you gotta accept delivery. There's no where to store it. In theory it could go negative.

          If you only have storage capacity for n barrels, barrel n+1 is industrial waste.

              How much can we charge to store it?

              If you look way out I think it’s still 45 a barrel.

                  Not that high, but yeah, this is all about storing oil at 3pm on Wednesday in Cushing, Oklahoma.

                        I'd love to know what's happening behind the scenes right now on the physical side.

                        It's gotta be crazy.

                          We have room for another 90 million barrels right now. We should get it.

                            I don't really understand oil futures. Maybe I'm the only one.

                                  It just hit 10 cents a barrel.

                                        Sooooo........should I buy Halliburton?

                                        Is this just reflecting the surplus in supply, minimal demand, and no place to store the actual dinosaur juice?
