Unbelievable what happened today. Listen to thisEarly on in the day, when oil was trading at around $135, it was reported that "somebody" purchased 20,000 put options on crude oil at a strike price of 130. These were JULY PUTS!!! which means if the price of crude oil does not go below 130 BY TOMORROW they expire worthless.
The guy reporting this could not believe that someone would take this kind of risk with this much money (millions of dollars).
Well, guess what? Crude oil closed today at 129.50. ISN'T THAT AMAZING??? The odds of this happening are probably one in a quadrillion.
This has to be the work of the US government. They told someone, probably JP Morgan, to buy these puts and they would insure that they would work out.
The whole market is rigged with cronyism and corruption. Right to the core.
