It might be a good idea to buy the Oil ETF $USO on the stock market, it tracks crude oil movements.

The case for AMLP, an ETF for the oil and gas midstream sector!
$USO is the Oil ETF that tracks the price of oil! Hedge your money against rising fuel prices and get into oil! The US just sanctioned Russian oil and it's just a matter of time before everyone else in NATO does.
$USO is the Oil ETF that tracks the price of oil! Hedge your money against rising fuel prices and get in to oil!

If you’re going to play USO, sell premium. Volatility spiked on Friday and is unlikely to go any higher.
Already spiked. USO call was the play. I’d be looking for an entry on the put.
OH MY, my USO 85 calls are going to print so incredibly hard on Monday that I’ll be able to afford the upcoming inflated gas prices anyway!
USO is crude ETF XLE is Energy Etf
I put $125 into one USO call on Friday. Didn’t think it could be a 10 bagger
Good thing I loaded up on USO yesterday.
very risky to hold USO. look at the all time chart
So is it just too easy that I full ported USO & TQQQ Friday?
Never put together I could have oil calls USO and ORCL puts and they both could destroy me
Think God my USO $79 calls gonna print.
What ticker are you buying? I’m only familiar with USO and not too sure it’ll be affected as heavily
Got 85 C on USO expiring next Friday. Holding through weekend. Up already 60%
Who else bough USO to hold over the weekend? If we get Hormuz closed or Iranian oil is taken off online this might pump to $100
Iran energy infrastructure is marked for destruction UCO USO
Gonna keep posting these tickets until they appear on the board since I'm up over 80% on calls already UCO USO
Puts on USO at close. Going to print once this whole thing ends over the weekend
Should I hold USO 85 C expiring next Friday through the weekend? I got in at 79.
Soooo calls on USO and XOM is free money over the weekend right?
Sold USO 80c’s 30% for next week got back in 82c’s with profit. Also ORCL put next week
If its pennystocks your looking for RIG, REI, HAL. REI produces oil, RIG drills for it and HAL supplies chemical etc for production. NFA. The Oil ETFs would be a safer bet, but they are pricey. USO is another one.
Down big early made it all back PLTR calls SPY puts USO weekly
Best energy etf or stonks to buy calls on? XLE? USO?
Shorted USO, oil going up lol
It wouldn’t. Long USO, IAU, and spy puts.
Picked up GDX and USO after hours as a hedge for my portfolio hoping it plays out well.
Easiest USO gain, no options just straight buy and wait
Guess we shall see. All I know is my USO calls are up by 100%.
I sold my USO calls yesterday because of Sundays scheduled talks. Kept half my SPY puts
Is USO the play or is there better oil companies to invest.
*Laughs in LHX USO TLT calls* You fookin muppet!! https://preview.redd.it/cbn8r5lyyl6f1.jpeg?width=1427&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5173c9fad48ade680b58be50a0471e9304ae00de
Hope you all got your LMT , USO and LHX calls
USO for sure. This shit going into the weekend.
Man I was looking at USO after people were mentioning it lol
USO, IAU, SPY puts. Yields moving lower overseas.
USO doesn't just jump 5% in 5 minutes normally, does it?
TLT, SLV, GD, VXX, USO. War time boys.
USO is going a lot higher. Israel attacking Iran seems like its only a matter of time…
Anything oil I’m in OXY but USO
Long SQQQ Long UVXT Long USO Short TLT
It's a difficult path these days. Social media has destroyed the marketplace of ideas by promoting poorly reasoned or downright incorrect information simply because it grabs eyeballs. In this age, it's very hard to just let it go and hope the voters sort it out. We have seen lightning fast changes in sentiment in European elections when they got bombed with Russian-led disinfo campaigns, as in Romania. I am sympathetic to your view though. I wish voters did see through it and would not vote for extremists. Killing nuclear was a historically stupid decision, though I think part of that was economic rather than ideological. Look at how recent US nuclear projects have gone: not well. Existing nuclear should have been maintained but investing new new nuclear is a hard sell. Fact is, one side is armed with lies and manipulation and is never punished for using them, one side has to live in reality. It's not a fair fight. Look at the Democrats (who I don't love btw) and how they pushed out Al Franken for his behaviour on a USO tour, then look at basically any GOP behaviour. Those views were promoted by news networks in the past and now by social media. How do we expect voters to make reasonable choices in these circumstances? The only thing that comes close to a solution in my mind is a full ban on algorithmic content suggestions. There will never be "ethical algorithms" so just ban them, and only show people content from those they follow in chronological order. You don't have to censor anyone; you don't have to make choices about what is good and bad content. You just let humans decide what to propagate and share to each other.
USO mooning 
Add to my TLT and sell covered calls. Sell some puts on USO as long as IV stays elevated. Wait to see what happens on SPY and QQQ.
US dollar hyperinflation will be so bad that perpetually decaying ETFs like USO will start to go up long term.
What are you wheeling? I did USO for 22% a year
I'm not a fan of Wheeling index funds. It's hard enough to get an edge trading options on index funds, and the Wheel just makes that harder. One big difference between IWM and USO is that IWM doesn't go through a reverse split every few months.
Sold QQQ calls at open for another 1k Rolled it now into USO 68.5 calls before announcement Lfg boys
Started with like 13k or so in 2020 that i had saved working at mcdonalds through high school - grew it to like 40k on USO puts in 2020 and then lost most of it shortly after that as u can see. Added a few grand to the account this year and am just treating it as a for fun account. My real investments are on ToS - Robinhood just feeds my adrenaline and dopamine
Anyone Wheeling IWM ? I wheel commodities ETF (USO,GLD,SLV) to a certain success about 20% a year ( I know is not as good as just parking it in nvida but I need the money every month to cover non-existential expenses and I already have other fund on longer term investments already) How different is it from wheeling USO for example?
You’re forgetting about oil; OIH and USO would also benefit from a “ Possible End.”
You trade VIX options? I only trade tech stocks, indexes and sometimes USO / GLD
OPEC: oil "down" -> USO goes up -> my puts fucked fries -> bag
Oil (UCO USO) calls, SPY puts and chill...
Buy call put on USO
Why would you invest now? Look at USO during covid and 2008
USO below 60 dollars a barrel is a buy, it gets too low and someone will go to war in the middle east and it goes up.
So my USO puts at the bottom might print?
I opened USO puts dated for October recently
Those USO calls are still a drag
1% of principal. With $500k, and a portfolio margin account, he can utilize up to $3mln in buying power ( but my numbers are based on $1.5mln) Chipotle- consumer staple that’s not considered a luxury good Walmart- substitute good and a “risk off” company during recessionary periods. Always out performs in economic downturn X- US Steel. A lot of tariffs affecting and driving up commodity prices USO- Oil is at a multi year low and going to pop with any conflict overseas UNH- United health just had their biggest slide in 27 years. It’s the biggest health insurance provider in the US. This company is literally the definition of a value stock LMT- Lockheed Martin. Defense company that gets the biggest gov contracts when war ramps up. MRNA- Moderna, discounted vaccine company that doesn’t follow the market much and is at a 1 year low Easily been averaging .8% a week for the last 6 months. Very unaffected by the tariff news
Wonder what USO is going to be at tmr ... after I opened puts lol
Just wondering, are USO calls a good hedge for our political instability? If shit really gets bad with Canada and Gulf states decide the dollar isn’t stable enough oil won’t be cheap for us anymore and USO would basically double.
Got puts for USO, let's see if I got puts at the bottom again or if it falls through in the next 4 months
USO just sank like a rock
In what circumstances would US oil go up? If a war were to break out? If shipping stops or rigs blow up? Stagflation? USO looks primed for a big move up or down based on the last 3 years
Kinda iffy on the strategy unless you are basically bearish. As others have said, it's a big drag on portfolio. Maybe find one or two securities that you think will do relatively poorly over the long term and go short those? If you hold LEAPS puts, maybe consider selling weekly or monthly puts against them. (poor man's covered put), the income will at least soften the theta or other losses? Currently running this strategy vs airlines, but for me that's a 3 to 8 month trade, not a permanent hedge. I've been wanting to go short the oil industry as a whole, because ICE vehicle sales peaked in 2017 and peak oil demand is basically here now, but right now oil is at lows not seen since covid. The long, slow demise of oil industry is getting underway. If oil were to recover I would look to LEAPS puts in OIH or USO with the longest duration I could get. Basically, gives a bit of asymetric recession proofing, but not without geopolitical risk. I would also sell short term puts against this to lower cost basis or at least cover theta decay.
USO? (Oil ETF?) Maybe short SLV? Calls on LLY?
GLD and oil for the upside when we bomb iran. USO
I picked up some UPRO as a hedge for my short positions. But looking at this action in DJT stock and oil I'm thinking maybe we are about to go to war. Considering adding to the UPRO or going long USO. It seems like someone knows something. Because all indications are we're heading into a major economic slowdown and we ain't going to be needing all that oil. Unless.
What is a good way to play oil options? USO has the highest options volume but it's nearly zero.
Fiat will lose value so quickly that decaying etfs like USO will start to go up over the long term
Merrill Edge won't let me trade USO. Wtf is that about 
Penguins are responsible for the UAP / USO sightings and have an underground base in Antarctica. Only higher ups in the government are aware penguins come from Perseus and built the pyramids
Crude oil prices seem to have way over corrected downward. Maybe calls on USO tommorow?
There aren't any -- liquidity is either bad or terrible. Most don't even have options. If you can accept bad liquidity, I've traded shares of PDBC, which is a basket of commodities, but it only has quarterly options. The lack of K-1's was more important to me than options liquidity, since I was trading shares anyway. DBC is another basket fund, but has significantly less AUM than PDBC. If you want single commodity funds, GLD and SLV are tops for options liquidity. USO is an oil futures ETN, but it's gone through so many reverse splits I would avoid. Here's a list of all: https://etfdb.com/etfs/asset-class/commodity/
The only positions my dumbass is holding going into the week are USO calls 🤡
Yeah, I am considering calls on USO at some point.
