Layman's Point of View on SPRNot sure if I got this right or not....
When Biden releases SPR, he is not just releasing it, he is selling it for the price at the time of the release. Usually, it seems to colide with high prices.
So if he "releases"/ "sells" it when WTI is at $85, then decides to re-purchase it at a later date when WTI is at $82, then isn't he making a tonne of $$$ for the US government?
I guess that the only concern he should have is whether or not there will be more supply at the later date or if he will be contributing WTI going higher.
Thoughts?
