Not sure if trolling or serious.
What is an absolute or abs() aka | |

So if from +20 to -10 its a drop of 30, so
-30/+20 means -1.5 or 150% drop

Lol I'm so glad I didn't buy futures yesterday like I was going to. Was literally 1 button press away. Instead I bought etf's, which I'm probably still fucked on, but I should be able to sell before I'm totally fucked.

I wish I had a warehouse where I could store barrels of oil at... I even have a dangerous goods transport certificate, so I could legally drive trucks with thousands of litres of oil on them

>> No.18577266

so if it went from +1 to -10, which is a smaller drop, it would be -11/1 = 1,100%, a higher percentage?

Naw this is just what happens when you have the (traditionally) highest demand commodity on the planet operated by what boils down to cartels/mafias. All this is going to do is make the rich richer. The economy won't be shut down forever, and demand for oil won't be 2/3 what it normally is forever. If you don't think oil warlords aren't paying themselves to buy up their own stock at "heh negative price per barrel goy" prices and then storing it in their own private warehouses to 20x their investments in a couple months, you're delusional.

They will just push off the pain to everyone else, (probably act like they're hurting and fire all their employees to get that sweet sweet bailout money, which they will immediately use to give themselves 8 figure bonuses) but oil companies and the oil industry will be just fine

It's not regular people that are causing this, as far as I understand it.
From what I understand there is too much oil around in the USat the moment, hence storage capacities of the big players who usually buy up oil and store it are full. This leads to everyone wanting to get out before expiration, since they wouldn't be able to store the oil they would be obliged to.
And so everyone started selling, domino effect.
