USO NACHO YOLO

USO has been dropping on false promises of a Middle East peace deal that will open the Strait of Hormuz toll-free. Trump is posturing about an agreement he needs to approve, but the Camp David signing fell through when Iran backed out. The strait will remain constrained by tolls regardless, meaning current optimism is unwarranted.

You Only Love Oil

Falling global oil inventories, refinery capacity constraints, and strong Asian demand will trigger a supply shock. Once inventory buffers deplete, prices will surge as there are limited alternatives to increased production.

Long USO calls · 19000 contracts

In 19k of USO calls because 150 dollar oil is fking stupid

Oil prices spiked to $150 due to geopolitical tensions but historically all oil spikes retrace when conflicts resolve. Author expects war to end under Trump administration, driving oil prices lower and call options on USO sharply higher.

Long USO $80P exp Dec 15

In 20k of USO puts because 150 dollar oil is fking stupid

Oil at $150 is unsustainably elevated and will retrace when geopolitical tensions ease. Historical oil spikes have always retraced, and current prices are driven by temporary POTUS policy, making long-dated puts a favorable risk/reward trade.

1,000 barrels for $96.73 cost basis, financially settled against physical barrels for June Delivery

MCL / USO Oil Yolo

Oil has tanked to below $100/barrel due to market crisis, but the author believes a recovery is likely and bought 1,000 barrels at $96.73 cost basis for June delivery. A single positive catalyst could trigger a 5-10k profit overnight.

Betting big on re-escalation and realization of the ignored oil shock

Author expects escalation in Middle East tensions and a delayed market realization of oil supply shocks. Current market highs ignore fundamental oil disruption risks that will surface by summer, triggering a major sell-off that benefits oil positions.

calls (on OIL)

Straight of Hormuz still closed

Strait of Hormuz closure and failed Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire will disrupt oil supply. Despite today's drop, the supply shock has not yet reached US markets; oil will surge within a week as tanker delays resolve and global demand responds to scarcity.
