These... ummmm.... guys are taking physical possession of real assets? Instead of selling the contracts to pros that have a clue?

What could go wrong with that?

Do they have any idea what $2M worth of oil even looks like?

This is going to be funny, I don't care who you are.

I have no idea how much it costs to store it for a year, but they could buy it today for $35/brl and buy futures guaranteeing they’ll get $50/brl for it in May (or $59/brl next January). Could be a good investment if there’s lots of unused tanker capacity that can be obtained cheaply at the moment.
