great example of contango(decay) nat gas. look the UNG and Boil 2x nat gas it takes long positions using derivatives. Regardles Crudes been trading as of lats between 73-78 dollar range. Will it break out? of course but only after "they" allow it. Knowledge is power. Its a casino.

So, if you follow that hypothesis, would you extrapolate that over onto miners and especially Jr. miners? Just looking at things from a different angle.

Thanks

contracts that expire at later dates are more expensive than those of the nearby month.

Great explanation Greg, makes a lot of sense. I think another sign of this is that most oil stocks have fallen less than the actual oil spot price, which indicates that traders don’t think the spot price will remain this low long term

Recession, liquidity crisis... Crude higher? I'll pass.

Yes because they’re going to keep pumping the system to prevent the liquidity crisis. The Fed is done hiking and they’ve admitted they’ll be cutting next year. They’ve already shown their hand, which is why the market is doing so well.

The Fed overplayed their hand. They thought unemployment was too low but in fact it is just broken. Tightening into a recession, especially when the system is insolvent, could have some unintended consequences.

Bull trap. Nobody can fix this hole. Not even the Fed.

They don’t have to fix anything. The market will go higher the worse the economy gets. The best performing stock markets were Weimar Germany and Venezuela during hyperinflation.

Is that the continuing inflate theory Greg always talks about? Man if they go there it's over. But I suppose we are at the end of this currency life cycle.

It’s how debt based systems work. There can’t be deflation or else the system collapses

Just maybe so many are dying form the bioweapon shots so not so much gas is required. If this is so it will only get worse.

Thanks for explaining. I've heard this on another channel and was wondering what it meant.

What is the difference between contango and derivative!? They sound the same because they are future bets.

So then the price of oil should continue downward for a little while longer and then a big upswing as prices will jump higher instead of incremental...
