    Buying oil stock?

    Not sure if there's alot of investors on SBR but thought to mention this..

    Crude oil down to $28 a barrel now!!!! Was $90 a barrel not too long ago.. Solid investment, can't lose..

    As the saying goes buy low sell high.. Right now it's LOW!!!!! What goes up must come down, what goes way down must come up..

    Anyone on this?

    If you want to make real money with Oil, look into trading XBR (Brent Crude or UK Oil) and XTI (West Texas Intermediate Crude or US Oil) versus the US Dollar, on Forex exchange.

    That's what I do.

    Forget Oil stocks --That's kid's game.

    But as far as buying the oil goes...I wouldn't touch it just yet. There are still way too many uncertainties with this commodity/market right now. Looks like we still haven't found the floor...but we're very close.

    You can also look into trading Oil CFDs (Contract For Difference).

    A CFD is a tradable instrument that mirrors the movements of the asset underlying it. It allows for profits or losses to be realized when the underlying asset moves in relation to the position taken, but the actual underlying asset is never owned. Essentially, it is a contract between the client and the broker.

    CFDs provide much higher leverage than traditional trading. Standard leverage in the CFD market begins as low as a 2% margin requirement.

    The reward could be much greater than in buying stocks, but it also carries a greater risk.

    Wait till it dips below $20/barrel. If Chinese economy doesn't recover, forget about oil.

    There's a stock market simulator website where you can place fake money and see if how your stock portfolio does well or not.

    I've been in a short position in oil all throughout 2016. I don't have a signal to get out, but I can post it here if anybody wants it when the time comes.

    My money isn't on the line personally, since I'm an American and I can't trade it at leverage, but I advise clients from all over, and they can trade metals, gold, indices, all that. Yet another thing the USA isn't allowed to do. Land of the free!

    I'm going to wait until prices stabilize myself to buy back in, and when I do it's going to be with majors only, as many smaller players will either fold or become acquired for pennies on the dollar.

    Silver can't make up its mind, so nothing there. Gold is slightly pointing up on my chart, but not enough for me to make a move on it.

    Gold is your anti-stock market play. About 50% of silver is set aside for industrial use, whereas only 10% of gold is.
