Your bad bets on options don’t mean oil is a bad investment. I put a couple of thousand each into a mix of high yield oil and gas last December, and they’re not only my biggest gainers, they pay a lot of dividends. We won’t be off oil for a very long time, and unregulated energy companies have regularly show the ability to set prices as needed to sustain profits.

At least you didn’t buy open oil futures contracts and have to scramble to figure out how to get a cargo shipping or storage contract in place before taking delivery next month..

literally just buying oil etfs and holding them, nothing else.... you honestly have to be trying to lose money if your investing in (and not against) oil and somehow down ytd. check any etf. if you bought and held you'd be wildly up. maybe start there first, then move to options.

If you take that AVAX learn and earn, you'll have $2.84. That's still 80% more than what most of us have!

My friend at this point you should take the AVAX lesson to cop this $1. Right there it’s almost double profits of what you have!

You must be a true regard to lose money on oil. It has been the best investment for the past 2 years.

I see you use the word investing rather loosely

It’s clear to see where options trading was discovered by this guy

Buy low, harvest dividends, hold forever. BPT requires some watching, however, as it only pays out as long as oil is above their cost of production (about $66 be barrel but expected to rise as the field is depleted). I wont live long enough to see demand for oil and gas to fall significantly.

I bought OXY at 13. So i did really well.

Now short HES.

If you look at oil, historically, the late 70s and late 2000s. Those were the only times it really held over $80/ppb.

Oil stocks have continued rallying while oil has had a strong pull back.

My bet is that oil will stay under $80. And oil stocks will pull back 20-30% next year.

But i can always cover and get out. Not married to the trade! Just going off of data.

Remember, we were releasing 1 million bbl a day for much of this year and we weren't the only country releasing reserves. Additionally 1/7th of the world's population has been on lockdown on and off. Also, most projections have peak global demand somewhere around a decade from now with sustained consumption around today's level until 2050 or so.

I don't know what next year holds, but that was my thesis getting in back in 2020.

Right now my biggest holding is in ET which is currently paying roughly 8% in dividends and plans to raise dividends to over 10% current value by Q1.

I hope the price dips 30% next year. I wouldn't mind accumulating 15% additional shares.

Um I think you mean options are not your friend. If you had put all that money into Chevron shares, you would still be down probably, but not like 99.99% down. And you would have a long term dividend stock that has 0% chance of bankruptcy that you could hold for decades without worrying
