The difference between the front-month and next-month contract for crude is at a whopping 12%! The front-month contract rolls over today, so a massive short squeeze seems to be taking place. As shown in the second chart below, while very uncommon, this kind of spread has happened in the past. Just another crazy datapoint in a crazy market.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
