Well done, but you could have lost everything doing that quite as easily if there wasn't the massive interventions (never in history extent) that subsequently happened.
This is the best documentary I have watched since COVID. Great job! Never thought I would also get to hear a Christian prayer even allowed to be shown with so much cancellation of such stuff on Western media.
Dude it’s because they’re not forcing it upon their viewers, you nut headed zealots always have to point it out just like homosexuals stating their sexuality and making it their whole personality when nobody asked.
Exactly, those guys profited from what happened that day (they may have 'helped' a little bit) , but at that point it was already a 'f***ed up' market.
Future and options market are double edged sword. Main argument for it is that it helps to reduce risk for a particular class of person. Truth is that the risk never disappears, instead, it gets transferred to another person who usually are speculators. That’s why futures and options cause so much turmoil and confusion around the price. Anyways, thank you for this neutral but insightful documentary.
Imagine the amount of money made by those who planned the C0vid "epidemic" ... not only trough oil business but through the pharmaceutical industry as well, and etc. etc. 47:45 - there you go..
If you made half a million on the stock market, take $400k and put it in a high interest account and build again using $100k. If you think you can make money on the stock market again, this is the only sensible thing to do. Many cannot make this decision because they want to make much more, much faster
@@adida.sativa-dv2elReally? Are you being serious? The planet has an infinite supply of oil? When did that happen? What qualifications do you have to say that? Or is just your (worthless) opinion?

Having experienced being stuck on a ship at sea, it is truly imprisonment. While your family members die at home, and those you know leave you behind, you'll be stuck onboard. There is no medical, no HR, no breaks. Working 48 hours straight is common, 100 hour weeks are minimum working hours. extremely dangerous and very hard on your health. It is signing up to be locked away every time you sign onboard. Please remember the mariners who bring you everything from overseas. They are literately giving away part of their lives to bring you, your comforts. Most people don't even know about this line of work. Remember the mariners. 142.

18.11 most oilfields are NOT naturally pressurised and pumping (adding pressure) can be regulated. I don't think this @Wet Oil# trader is being honest with VPRO
Can someone explain how did Syed lost $13 million when he bought the contract at the very bottom price? 212 contracts at $1 cent still gives loss of approx $1.5 million at the bottom price.
Futures are different than your regular stocks or stock options. WTI or /CL Crude oil, each contract represents 1000 barrels. Tick size is 1 cent, so multiply 1000 barrels by 1 cent, each one penny movement up or down gives you (+/-) $10. So if you are buying long (Calls), and the oil is at $50 a barrel, and it goes down to $45 a barrel, that is a $5 move which is equal to 500 ticks. Since each tick is worth $10 that is a $5K loss on one contract on a $5 move. I hope this answers your question. I am not a pro, nor do I trade futures. Just sharing what I know.
The trading software does not account for the negative numbers. The minimum price he saw was 1 cent. So, he bought 13000 contracts he said but the actual price at that time was(negative) - $10 or even lower. At expiration, when he contract was settled, since the price was in the negative, he had to pay to sell (settle) his contract. When the price is in the positive, you get money for selling anything. Since, the price was in the negative, he had to pay to get rid of his contract. Interactive Broker assumed the cost of anything below $0, btw. They understood that their software messed up.
That’s called capital gains tax. But money is boundless, it grows exponentially. So a fraction of infinity is not a useful regulatory limit. We need zero carbon extraction and combustion, so a carbon tax is inapposite. What we need is a low energy economy, or a lot less people.
It took me a year to recover from that day oil went to 0 but the brokers didn't make it easy. Getting locked out like that was the 1st I ever wanted to sue anyone. But iv went from 60 to over 300 in minutes as a premium seller I'm not sure how I didn't have stroke.
If making money is what determines who is deemed a "smart" guy, then everyone trading a particular market will be the dumb guy at least once every so often.
One of the best time of my career was when oil price went negative, I was buying oil stocks non stop for two days continuous for the clients. Now they are earning 20% dividend by doing nothing.
Do NOT trade something that you don't understand, and your blood pressure is gonna be fine 😂 It's that simple. ( that's why I stay out of shitcoin, commodities and currencies)
It appears that Dan Dicker, Michael Marks and all other floor traders didn't make any money trading but they all became very wealthy simply by selling their floor trader "seats" for multi-millions that they bought for less than $100k.
So Syed didn't actually lose. He's still driving a benz with a big house to live in. That is truly not fair. If you take a huge risk, you cant expect to win big but cry for a bailout when you lose big. You knew futures are volatile financial instruments with equal risk of heavy losses compared to rewards. You could be out there working your ass off on the oil rigs but you chose to make money from a product that requires hard physical labor in crazy environmental conditions to produce. Most young adults like Syed dont want to do anything that involves manual labor. They all wanna be "traders, entertainers, content creators", etc. Who tf did you pay for this promo? I got zero sympathy for this guy. Viewers, the moral of this story is that none of the people typing on keyboards, watching computer screens actually lose.
CORRECTION: Oil has gone negative before. Also, the CME made the announcement weeks in advance of the possibility for it to go negative including changing the way its priced from the ‘76 Black Model to the Bachelier Model. Also, every brokers warns its customers of holding the front month on the last day of expiration.
The 2008 sub-prime mortgage trading was exactly the same, only a small number of astute traders cashed in on the 'shorts' gamble. The banking giants gained 80 billion from our taxes, the major oil companies don't lose either. Cest la vie and buyer beware.....convid was a serendipitous occurrence that only astute traders saw coming, much like the sub-prime jamboree. Isn't life wonderful? For every drop or rise in trade digits humans lose.
Your missing an important part of what future contracts are supposed to be used for. Price discovery for producers, farmers or oil companies need to know whats been purchased in 3 months from the purchase price.
How can you not mention the well documented winners which was a small group of traders from the UK who set up this crash? please fact check me, I watched the doc on that also on TH-cam
Inflation is just devaluation of the currency. Currency is inherently fiat or made up. Oil is finite and non renewable, so we need to be careful how we use it. We will never “run out of oil”, that is a fallacy. It will just get priced out relative to other energy sources. If you want to protect yourself from oil prices then the logical thing to do is have alternatives such as solar, wind hydro and nuclear. Its just basic market forces.
If He doesn’t pay up then broker , exchange and final customer doesn’t get paid. So in all everyone loses. This shows there was no risk mitigation mechanism in the first place.
One of the best time of my career was when oil price went negative, I was buying oil stocks non stop for two days continuous for the clients. Now they are earning 20% dividend by doing nothing.
Futures market!!! Now the big dogs know what to devalue for eye poking prices to sell months later at 300 percent price increase. It's a poker game. And the dealers as well as the house will always make money. And the gamblers will loose all the time.

It's critically important that people use accurate language when discussing the actual cause of event consequences of SARS-CoV 2. A particularly egregious and pernicious example-with repeated examples of use in this piece-is 'BECAUSE OF the pandemic/covid, x, y, z.' This is obviously inaccurate, a mistake of basic, foundational logic. The ACTUAL factual causal reality is this: because of the actions taken by tiny silver of people (our 'leaders') who, under the auspices of 'saving us via mitigating viral spread of a universally deadly untreatable novel virus which is transmitted largely via aerosolized airborne droplets via 'lockdowns', paper masks, plexiglass panels, 'six feet' etc.' assumed unprecedented virtual total power/control over almost every coordinated collective human activity. Dictates which, as it happens, are now almost universally understood to have been virtually 100%, incomprehensibly, almost impossibly wrong (and which were recognized as such at the time by anyone with the critical thinking faculties of a 12-year-old of average intelligence.) THAT is what caused-is the BECAUSE-of whatever 'x, y, z during covid' topic is at hand in a given conversation. The conflating of the two-the virus, and the governmental response to it-is a massive lapse in logic, understanding, and a highly inaccurate depiction of reality. Causation clarity with language is VERY important.

that part at the end where you said the $600 million dudes made money from a chat is hilarious. you made it seem like you can pump and dump oil 😂
Exactly, those guys profited from what happened that day (they may have 'helped' a little bit) , but at that point it was already a 'f***ed up' market.
Can you clarify what you mean mate
@@6misery he's talking about lads from Essex who made $600million from selling future contracts that took oil negative.
Future and options market are double edged sword. Main argument for it is that it helps to reduce risk for a particular class of person. Truth is that the risk never disappears, instead, it gets transferred to another person who usually are speculators. That’s why futures and options cause so much turmoil and confusion around the price. Anyways, thank you for this neutral but insightful documentary.
