CL

Permian Basin needs around $65 a barrel to break even, right now /CL is at $56 so they're sitting on their hands in West Texas right now. When price hits $70 it'll create a fuckton of jobs in Texas and gas prices will drop $0.50 per gallon for the consumer. Healthy oil price is around $80, that's when everybody's making money. That's what the current administration wants to see. It's gonna happen.

Easter_Bunny

Good news! I'm riding silver at the moment, when that horse gets tired I'll be over here looking for /CL to get back to $75 and beyond! Cracks me up you're using Robinhood to buy Future options, you'd be way better off using Tradingview or NinjaTrader here and bypassing options altogether. I like to get in Sunday night if I've got high conviction or Monday morning if I want some confirmation, and then let it run until it scares me or before the Friday evening close. That way I don't have my money tied up.

GC options trade until 12:30 Central and CL options trade until 11:30 Central, keep that in mind you should always looks to roll if it’s getting close

AgentBlackwell

What more are you waiting for though, really? I bought [CL.TO](http://CL.TO) at 1 dollar two weeks ago and sold it foe 3 dollars last week, re-entered the same position at 1.50$ literally two hours later. I have been in this sub with various avatars for ten years; dont get caught believing in the industry. Its been nothing by hype and pump-and-dumps. You should identify and exit price and treat it more like a swing trade.

I am currently scaling my position into a growth biotech stock, which is in fact my only stock for the time being, but I would go for obvious ones like KO, PEP, JNJ, PG, CL, WMT, some food giants, BRK.B and such.

I'm up over 60%. Shorted oil /CL, went long /CL gold, shorted /ES before "liberation day"(lol), sold SPX puts shortly after liberation day to collect theta once risk was priced in but while liquidity was growing. Now I sit in MUNI bonds with an /ZN short to hedge DV01 risk. Also long 40% of portfolio as Gold. Gold currently has once again become uncorrelated to stocks - meaning that if your afraid of inflation, it may be safer as a hedge again. Ofc that can change. Equity risk premium is negative by -.6% which is really bad. Liquidity was contracting, but fed pivot might change that. My custom mini Bloomberg dashboard shows 7 bullish, 7 bearish, 2 neutral signals. Id rather enjoy tax free dividends while I keep my risk exposure lower until a cleaner signal comes out.

Duncan810

Settlement was 56.52. If it had been below 56.50 the long put would have exercised, correct? /CL options are American so I am getting confused with equity options. Can you be assigned early and then have to either exercise the long or trade out of it?

foragingfish

/CL futures options settle at 1:30 central, so on expiration day you won't be able to trade them past that time.

AI Brief (not double checked); No, you will **not** have to physically take delivery of barrels of oil at a storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma. Interactive Brokers (**IBKR**) has a strict policy against customers making or taking physical delivery for most commodities, including the CL (Light Sweet Crude Oil) futures contract.  IBKR has automatically: * **Liquidated your futures position**: The broker is in the process of, or has already, closed out the resulting long or short futures position on the open market to prevent delivery obligations and cover the margin shortfall. * **Charged your account for losses/fees**: You are responsible for any losses from the spread, the forced liquidation, and potential additional fees.  The goal of this policy is to protect retail traders from the logistical and financial burden of dealing with the physical commodity, which involves arranging storage, insurance, and transport.  Your total potential financial loss at this moment is approximately **$8,500 per contract**, plus any applicable fees. This is calculated based on the maximum possible loss for a bull put spread. Loss Calculation The maximum potential loss for a bull put spread occurs when the price of the underlying futures contract is at or below the lower strike price at expiration.  * **Your Spread:** 57/65.50 bull put spread * **Lower Strike Price:** **$57.00** * **Higher Strike Price:** **$65.50** * **Crude Oil Futures Price (at settlement on December 19, 2025):** Approximately **$56.66**  Since the underlying crude oil price is below your lower strike of $57.00, the maximum loss scenario is triggered. **Maximum Loss Formula:** (Difference between strike prices - Net premium received) \* Contract size Assuming you opened the spread for a **net credit**, your maximum loss is the difference between the strikes minus that credit. * **Difference in Strikes:** **$65.50** \- **$57.00** = **$8.50** per barrel. * **Contract Size:** Each CL contract represents **1,000 barrels**. * **Total Loss (before premium and fees):** **$8.50** \* **1,000** = **$8,500** per contract.  The actual final loss will be reduced by whatever net premium you originally received when you opened the spread.

CL is still up big after recently but today stung. I got to -33% which is the best I've seen in years

My position on Trulieve is relatively new and I wouldn't mind more so if it goes below my average I'll likely add to my position there. Done on everything else though. Been averaging down on CL for four years now.

# Cresco Labs CEO: Rescheduling Marks Historic Shift for Cannabis Industry December 18, 2025 * [Download(opens in new window)](https://s202.q4cdn.com/903809940/files/doc_news/Cresco-Labs-CEO-Rescheduling-Marks-Historic-Shift-for-Cannabis-Industry-2025.pdf) CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE: CL) (OTCQX: CRLBF) (FSE: 6CQ) (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company”), today issued a statement on behalf of Cresco Labs CEO Charlie Bachtell following President Trump’s action to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I to Schedule III substance under the Controlled Substances Act. *“Today marks the most consequential moment in the history of U.S. cannabis. The decision to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III will be a cultural turning point, acknowledging what millions of Americans already know: cannabis is medicine and deserves responsible, common-sense regulation.* *This action starts bridging the gap between federal law and the will of the American people, with nearly 90 percent of Americans supporting some form of cannabis legalization and 74 percent already living in states with legal cannabis. Rescheduling unlocks opportunities for comprehensive medical research. It validates the work of state leaders who pioneered thoughtful, highly regulated cannabis programs for their constituents. It sends a strong message to our criminal justice system to stop imprisoning people for a plant that’s been used as medicine for more than 5,000 years.* *For the estimated 450,000 people working in the regulated cannabis industry, rescheduling is the first domino to fall, paving the way for cannabis to be normalized, respected and finally treated like any other U.S. industry. It will remove cannabis companies’ unfair tax burden, allowing operators to reinvest in new infrastructure and job growth in the communities we serve.* *It also lays essential groundwork for progress on banking reform and access to U.S. capital markets, critical steps toward aligning federal policy with the scale and sophistication of this industry.* *We commend President Trump for this action and remain committed to building the responsible, respectable and robust cannabis industry this country deserves.”*

I got a 6400CL32 64gb kit for $150 in August. now it's like $900 on newegg.

MathematicianLiving4

Yeah higher density wafers production was definitely hit the hardest. My Corsair 64gb kit, 6000 CL30 has x4 in 9 months. And I dont see any recovery for at least 6-9 months. They will probably plateau and then slowly drop Q3-4 2026.

Lubone26

WTF, just saw this post and checked the price I bought my CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 and I was shocked. I bought this one in April 2023 on amazon (DE) for 110 EUR (129 USD) and now that same performance will cost me 462 EUR (542 USD)

Last_Jedi

This kit is 6400CL32. Runs great at 6000CL30. But the actual 6000CL30 kit is [$799.99](https://www.newegg.com/patriot-memory-viper-venom-64gb-ddr5-6000-cas-latency-cl30-desktop-memory-matte-black/p/N82E16820225339).

CL is definitely one of the better weedcos imo. Wish I'd sent it all on them instead of splitting it with tilray.

I think he's talking about CL (Colgate) which is $78.

zapembarcodes

This doesn't make sense, unless you're selling a deep ITM put. CL futures are pricing at around 58-59 right now. You can get 1.90 per contract if you're selling at or near the money. Margin requirement (on CS) is about $6k per contract.

This is approaching demented levels. I've bought Patriot Viper Venom 2x32GB DDR5 6400MHz CL32, DIMM (PVV564G640C32K) for $205 (without tax) on 31st of January 2024. That's double the RAM with roughly the same performance for less than half the price...

aaaaaaaaaaa999999999

CL30 6000mhz was seen as the sweet spot for value/performance on RAM but corsair is also “name brand” so it’s more expensive than the current cheapest CL30 6000mhz. Cheapest is silicon power at $335ish dollars (which is still absurd) seeing as I got a set of the exact same spec ram for around $90 earlier this year

Puts on CL

Plenty-Helicopter459

For me Q42024 earnings trades (Jan-March 2025) had more big moves than the other earnings seasons. Profitable overall, but better profitability with Q1-Q3 earnings trades. 0 DTE short strangles (8-16 delta) were profitable for the year and REALLY profitable in April / May. Started playing around with 1DTE strategies. I think because there is so much focus on 0DTE that it may be easier to find an edge in 1 DTE plays. Still experimenting and backtesting to get comfortable with a clean strategy. And I was messing around with futures short strangles (ES / NQ / CL) during liberation day and learned a very big lesson. I ignored my stop-loss because I thought the policy was crazy and everyone would come to their senses - and got my first margin call in over 30 years of trading. Small, high-risk trading account, so not life changing. But mr market definitely took me to school. Will never happen again.

zapembarcodes

>royally fucked one day with months or years of profit gone in an instant. That's because most people -- including yourself, apparently -- are *silly*. It's very simple. If you're going to sell puts, make sure it's on a company (or better yet index fund) *you want to actually own*. Now, if you are *silly* and want to own a fluffed up meme stock like MSTR, hey, more power to ya. But don't be surprised when you then get assigned on shares after the stock plummets 25% and you're stuck selling CC's below your cost basis for months or years... Nobody to blame but yourself for that. Those "juicy premiums" come with a high cost. Or you could do what I do, and just sell credit spreads. **Defined risk**. "Most beautiful words. The best words" as the pompous dotard would say. But yes, indeed, I sleep quite alright. I used to wheel MES futures (it's like SPY) until I realized credit spreads on ES/SPX are just better in every way, especially because it's defined risk. I also sell on GC, CL, ZB... I mostly just sell premium on futures nowadays, all credit spreads. I also sell as high as 120DTE sometimes, but these are usually larger positions that I only enter selectively and very far OTM. Lately, the market's been a bit skittish so I've been happy with small, low risk weekly trades. Returns have been smaller but I'm loving the low risk. Anyway, if you want to keep risk extra small, just sell weekly credit spreads and make sure you're comfortable with your max loss. Roll at 1-2X if you must. You'd be surprised how those little "checks" add up. It's really not that hard.

I can always find a cynical side to things. Gift or curse, idk. But, if some new money coming into the space, right now, prices can’t be better. Low volume, hemp, and fear to drive it down. Really good time for new money to come into the space at these prices, ya know? CL seemed to finally bump, and even TL leveled off of sorts, and um, big buys. Almost like something wrapping up. I truly don’t know nothing from nothing, except what the years have taught me. But just for fun, I think tomorrow could be good. But happy with flat.

You should try CL, I opened a position a while back and stepped away for not even a minute, came back to 8k in the green, could've easily been the other way around

Sold my oil futures calls yesterday after that rally. Bought back in with longer dated calls just now after today's drop. Between Russian sanctions and india winding down purchases in December, US/Venezuela conflict, and Iran water crisis there is an increasing likelihood of oil moving higher.  According to GROK summary here's the estimated price increase and probability of it happening. Baseline - no major escalation and india gradually winds down 1-5% upside 50% probability  India cuts + Venezuela sanctions tighten 10-15% upside 40-50% probability  India cuts + Venezuela/us military conflict 20-30% upside 20-30% probability  Hormuz closure + regional conflicts + US/Venezuela conflict 40-50% upside <20% probability  Postion - december 16 62$ calls in CL futures.

$KHC, $CL $CLX $GIS I'm going balls to the wall on consumer staples cuz they've been going down like, forever and these are solid companies that have been around since I was a lad. Then I'll cry when they continue to go down even more. Dry eyes, wash, repeat.

"build a strategy: Yes. I have a strategy in my trading plan that works. I tweak it every so often but not by much. "and blindly follow it without any additional support or indicator." That's right no technical analysis indicators. MA, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Gann, etc. However I do use a lot of fundamental analysis. I do that starting at 8:30AM (ET) by: Reviewing Asian markets activity (they're closed) Reviewing European market activity (they're mid day) Reviewing morning Economic Indicators (ADP, CPI, etc.) Reviewing AM earnings releases Fed upcoming activity Morning political activity and, especially, Morning futures market activity (e.s ES, YM, NQ, DX, GC, CL etc., ...and a few more things. By 9:30AM (ET) I'm ready to begin trading SPX 0DTE options. I generally let the market open for a 10-15 minutes and let it settle down. Then I look at Expected Move, IV, IVR and IV% and jump in with a Call and Put credit spread. Looks like a lopsided iron condor but in fact I trade the spreads separately. Some days the spreads are 1SD away from the money other days closer to 2SD. That's it.

People drinking less coffee and brushing their teeth more. S/o my CL bois

incase anyone think this is buy the dip, S&P is only carried by big tech and AI. for a more accurate representation of how much more it will go down look at IWM, support is at 220. the 490 S&P stocks will continue to go down till end of the year. look at some of the big names like CL KMB are down 40% from ATH, the rest of the stocks will follow the massive correction

Ok-Replacement9595

Come one guys, someone buy some CL. Haha. Can't even exit at this rate.

I knew a guy that worked in an oil and gas, he would tell me the strategy the execs were taking (in terms of long/short CL and BZ various contracts out to a year or so out). From early 2022 to early 2025 they were wrong super majority of the time, even not considering the war in Europe. It’s a publicly traded company but they don’t break out their trading in their reporting, they just call it hedging and show the PnL on that, but listening to the trades it’s wild. FWIW many top experts have been wrong, it’s easy to look in retrospect and say what went wrong, but at the time many were confident.

No, the technical definition has nothing to do with any of those. It's right there in the CBOE's Service Mark Registration for "LEAPS": "Option Market Services; namely, facilitating the trading of options of extended length on stocks and stock indexes in Class 36 (U.S. CL. 102)." "extended length" has come to be widely accepted as being "more than one year", though the registration doesn't actually quantify it.

why sell 20 MCL futures instead of 2 CL futures and save on exchange fees lmao

throwaway9gk0k4k569

I recently sold a bunch of crap out of my garage. I put it on EBay and sold that stuff in two weeks. I don't need the money. I just don't like the idea of throwing it all away. But right now? I bet there's a lot of people trying to scrape up some cash. Boomers are downsizing. They are throwing shit on EBay. I had tried to sell all of it on local markets (CL/FBMP) first but there just isn't a market like EBay has. There were no takers, even at half the price I sold that shit for on Ebay.

CL already broke down, once they poke their heads above 60 they're cooked

How stupid would it be to buy the call options on Oil futures. Lol. The /CL contract June 61c's are trading at 0.8 which is 800 dollars (1,000 barrels of oil in each option).

Think about it this way: You have set aside the cash to purchase the shares at the strike you sold. Since it is a put, the worst case scenario is that the stock goes to 0----so you would be using the cash you set aside to buy a stock that has no value----can't go below zero ( and yes I remember /CL going negative). No matter what, you won't "owe" more than the cash that secured the put.

BYRN earnings: Net revenue for Q3 2025 grew 35% year-over-year to $28.2 million from $20.9 million in Q3 2024. The year-over-year growth was largely driven by strong dealer and chain store sales tied to Byrna’s expanding retail presence, the success of new marketing initiatives, and broader brand adoption. Web traffic began to build late in the quarter and has continued into the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 (Q4 2025), supporting stronger e-commerce activity. Gross profit for Q3 2025 increased to $16.9 million (60% of net revenue) from $13.0 million (62% of net revenue) in Q3 2024, reflecting the strong increase in sales. Gross margin performance reflects the changing channel mix, which saw much stronger dealer sales, as well as one-time startup costs associated with the Compact Launcher launch and associated manufacturing ramp-up costs. Since its launch in Q2 2025, the Compact Launcher (CL) has achieved faster production yield improvements compared to previous product releases. Byrna anticipates that CL margins will continue to grow as production volume increases and manufacturing processes become more efficient. Operating expenses for Q3 2025 were $14.1 million, compared to $12.2 million for Q3 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher variable selling expenses, and increased discretionary marketing spend to support growth. Net income for Q3 2025 was $2.2 million, an increase from $1.0 million for Q3 2024, driven by an overall increase in product sales and operating leverage.

My rule for puts is never place a put on a stock you don’t want to own. In the case of CL it’s a Morningstar 4 star rated stock and switches to 5 star at $70.40. It’s a consumer defensive and if you think that the tech train is about to slow down it’s not a bad play in the low 70s. Exciting No but I’m way past looking for exciting in my investments. Doesn’t look like it will hit 76 by tomorrow so I’ll make $700 for 4 days. I’ll take it even without the dividend. 🙂
