Maybe. They are buying and selling oil.

Often they are buying and selling to each other.

They might not be ever taking possesion but they are gaining profits

Futures traders always make a profit? How does that work?

Works just about like the Real Estate market worked for those lenders that bet long by selling sub-prime loans, and buyers that bought way more house than they could afford.

Essentially they were futures traders betting long.....way way too long!
