The way oil prices jump and tank based on stupid reports and inventory levels is quite frankly absurd. We should have a much better gauge of just how much slack there is.

Monday: oil supply unexpectedly grew by 1 million barrels, price tanks 3-4%
Friday: baker Hughes reports rig counts dropped by 100, price shots up 6%

So ******* stupid.
It is likely because there are no new serious long investors, just people playing vol now.

errr.... shouldn't you have done that this morning when it was 10%+ down? :)

Hell, I'm waiting for it to hit 32 so I can sell it all off and be done with this one haaa. It's been a bumpy ride under 30 for the past few months and even though it looks like they may finally be turning things around I'm getting ready to just get out and move on.

I really hate how every(?) stock chart skews the stock price view. At first glance, that stock looks like it went completely bust, but it only dropped 15%. I wish they would have the y-axis much wider than the range of the stock price in the view.

Well when you're looking at the 1-day chart, it only makes sense to keep the y axis values range bound between the opening price and the closing price values.
