Interesting Energy Market
On the heels of a possible invasion of The Ukraine by the Russians, oil is down and natural gas prices are up a lot.
The German and French stock markets are down about 3% this morning.
In a nutshell, these reactions illustrate the true situation. The West really can't do much to Russia if the Russians do invade all or part of The Ukraine and the Russians can hold Europe hostage due to their stanglehold on the European natural gas market.

In a nutshell, these reactions illustrate the unreliability of the communists and the need for energy and food self-sufficiency. Wait 'til the Keystone XL cancellation hits the fan (Nov. mid-term US elections?).

Today makes no sense at all , selling seems to be running out of gas . The usual lunch time pressure is expected but I figure to back the truck up at 12:15-12:20 . Results in a week and shorts will need to cover .

That and margin requirements tightened mid day, causing many traders to liquidate, then the algos got a hold of it and made it worse. Then it reversed, and accellerated back again with the algo tailwind. Energy is STILL green for the year, the other sectors red. Crazy day though!

The "grownups" , thanks for imparting that nugget of wisdom experienced . Your observations are only eclipsed by your arrogance . My trade ended up working fine , banks can't react fast enough to stop low hanging fruit from being first come , first served . Have a wonderful evening .

You can whine all your want he won't step down. Not when they are making 50$ profit a barrel.

Agree that it is unlikely that he would step down. In the case of ALA, the incompetence of management was very evident and the company was in trouble. This is not the case with SU. That said, the downside is that, without a change, the market will not likely give SU the valuation that it deserves and shareholders will suffer as a result.
