I've been playing oil and oil service full tilt since about the middle of May.
Lots of profit and I've taken some along the way. At $60 a barrel I bailed out quickly only to find I was early. I reentered yesterday morning with the thought of exiting before this weekend.
Some are calling oil a bubble, yet we are not talking dot coms here. This stuff is real. I have a difficult time imagining any senario that would cause the sudden drop some predict. I can think of plenty of reasons why oil could spike further, but not lower to any great extent.
The charts I use are screaming sell, but again, this is oil and the charts don't factor in hurricanes and such. Supply and demand, and China's economy all can have longer range effects, but those factors will provide an early warning of an impending drop.
So the question is:::What could happen overnight or over the weekend that could cause a major, more than one day drop in the price of oil
