re: Oil suffers record plunge below $11 amid historic glut

How many stocks/markets/commodities have ever dropped more than 90% in one day? Genuinely curious how many times something has happened like this historically.

I'll have to decide between buying a barrel of oil or beer this afternoon
by the end of the day a 40 ounce bull will be worth more than a bbl.

If spot oil was $10, Exxon would be down more than 3%.

Never seen a market move close to it in commodities that I can remember but that's only been 7ish years

Have to figure whoever got caught on the trade today with no where to store the oil (and pay for it) is going to get wiped out. Our luck we will see them back door into a bailout soon. Probably some NY funds just went out over this one.

Serious question: if we were to, oh I don’t know...bomb the shite out of some Middle Eastern country right now...would that help stabilize the oil price?
Too late at this point. Today marks the end for a lot of US oil companies.

Which means we will be a the mercy of OPEC when demand does come back.

The thing to do would be to slap a big tariff on foreign oil. There's a bunch of Saudi Oil sitting in the gulf right now waiting to be delivered to US refineries.

dont think that would save most of the us companies even at this point

Yeah but lifting costs do tell you where it’s financially viable to drill for oil at which price. Which that chart reflects.
Even that’s not necessarily accurate for a few reasons:
1. Typically, lifting costs exclude exploration and development. There’s a huge difference in the cost to recomplete an existing well in a mature field compared to drilling a new well in a new area.
2. Lifting costs can vary dramatically, especially somewhere like the US where you have a lot of different types of reserves. There’s a ton of variance between shale vs. conventional vs. deepwater etc.
3. My point still stands.. the Saudis can’t withstand sub-$20 oil for long regardless of their lifting costs. If oil is $20/bbl, but they need $60/bbl at current production to balance their budget, they are screwed. They can’t just triple their output because even if they were technically capable of doing this, it would just depress prices further. They are (or have been) banking on putting competitors out of business. But it’s going to backfire on them long term when Shell, Exxon, Chevron, etc. start picking up developed fields for pennies on the dollar.
The Saudis fricked up when they got greedy and let oil get to $100+/bbl. They’ve created a monster and they are never getting that market share back, at least not without drastically reducing their national budget.

Tough decision to make...
Grab lunch at Chick Fil A or buy 900 barrels of oil
