As someone who has played oil futures (and lost), IMO dont go with direct oil exposure like USO, BNO or futures. Go with oil companies, they are the way safer play if you think oil prices will be higher for longer. You won't need that spike to 150 to make you profitable, and if you are wrong you can collect some juicy dividends, at least. CVX and FANG are the two I keep on wheeling, XOM and COP seemed to underperform, so I've gotten rid of those.
I am long USO. Dont know a more direct play on what you’re looking for.
Should’ve held my USO calls just a little longer They always shake me out of that shit time to leave it alone
If I were Iran I'd buy a but load of SPY 0DTEs and USO calls through grey markets and non-OFAC caught funds, then do a timed attack with a massive amount of missiles/drones that arrive at the same time at our aircraft carrier or partner's infrastructure. Trump would retaliate massively and Iran would loose, but the news would tank the markets and give every leader enough $ to live like kings in China and Russia while their people would just be like o we got screwed by our leaders again.
USO is at high of day, SPY holding up... no chance this doesn't start to change

Think USO can hit $129 today? 🥹
my USO calls are down 50%. hopefully it'll continue spiking up so i can sell at break even
i'm never buying USO options. i bought when USO was at $130 and it's only like 3% lower now. how tf are my calls down 50%???
It's okay, I lost money on USO shares way back at the start.
my USO calls are down 50%. i wouldn't mind political unrest rn

Well i hold USO 125 PUT expired tomorrow so i need USO down 5% 😄
Usually the same but my account ain’t that big and I’m still heavy cash ONDS and USO burned me
Looked at USO this morning and thought calls are free money I’m buying. Well, I didn’t. Fuck
Wow during the oil dip I was really thinking about buying some 1DTE USO $125 calls but I decided to be responsible and not. Last time I make the mistake of being responsible.

MMs pumping USO now to stop the squeeze in SPY. That call wall at $775 this week is massive. The $780 is even bigger. Good news if you missed this rally. Wait until EOD tomorrow and load the shit out of calls.
USO up when SPY dies? Interesting...
Classic SPY pumping with USO
Yeah, it's why it's probably more worthwhile going short USO when it spikes than anything because it doesn't trade rationally.
USO about to moon everyone thank Mango for the cheap oil calls!
USO has a market cap of $1.7B how does one buy $3.5B in a single transaction
$USO on sale. Total float less than 20M, and short interest over 80% of float.
I'll be closing up shop on my USO long calls while they are up a boatload, gave back too many yachts over the years!
Maybe SPR has de facto zero days and that's what's behind the USO activity?
Yeah, if want to expose your portfolio to oil, I don't see why you wouldn't just hit /BM or /MCL directly. Calls on USO seems like a terribly proxy for oil pricing.
Isn’t that like 23% of USO’s entire share count? Must be rebalancing or something.
Sitting on USO calls and a TQQQ long straddles ending on 8/14. Any hope of TQQQ breaking out of the 70 - 75 range?
SPY 780+ USO under 120 EOW or I’m fucked Even if it happens, I’ll probabaly panic sell at a loss at open before my positions are profitable
I entered at 140, so they are looking pretty good. Last time I shorted USO was 2020 before it died. I'm okay with it.
I don’t consider someone who has bought and held 4 USO shares over the last week to be an oil permabull.
I'm short USO. Dec puts are still cheap.
I feel like no one with any brain cells would make a spec call on oil prices via a shit vehicle like USO vs futures/options so this is very likely something innocuous
USO coiling up to 127.50s, needs Donny to flush it or will act as a plug during evening session
bears be chanting USO USO instead of USA USA gotta love it
No idea if I should trade USO. Bullish momentum, but what’s the thesis for it to be higher. Range bound and strong resistance at 150ish and premiums very high. I’ll pass prolly
That was a rather large USO buy 😆
USO $135 tomorrow No deal, never will be a deal, its suppressed from its $154 ATH this year when the SPR had significantly more safety margin behind it, we just hit under 300 million barrels since 1983, and Iran says there is no deal until orange man is gone in 2029 Department of energy released the numbers Monday but somehow the market only cares about EIA reports when the margin of error is >1% from the DoE Anyways, 252 million barrels would be when reserve drawing shuts off and can only be released via emergency standards from the big guys, and 70 million barrels are needed to keep the salt caves from collapsing Ya'll do the math
USO hit $127. Market is trying to pushing to down and keep equities head above water, but it broke. 🥭 better speed up that ballroom bunker
@Mods to add to the Stocks Everyone should be paying attention to now due to this development; $USO $XLE and $WTI will be good ones to try and get in on the coming oil price moves
AP is printing. No Taco Tuesday. Puts on Berkshire Hathaway. Calls on USO and SUPERMAJORS.
🥭 has to be long USO, that’s the only explanation lol

Speak for yourself I bought $USO, $XLE, and a ton of options for $WTI back in April and made sure to Dollar Cost Average all the way down through May-July because if there is 1 thing you can **BANK ON** its a Donald J Trump Business Deal ***Failure***
I have USO calls expiring tomorrow
USO pumps to $129 then drops $5 in premarket? This market is fucking fake as fuuuuuk
Holding USO calls. Thinking I might take some profit on the ones under 30 days DTE. Wait and see on the September calls.
Hopefully USO can get to 180 to 200 range by EOM so SPY can break 800 this month.
SPY versus USO race to 1000 could get interesting
Kind of thinking USO and SPY calls hedge each other
USO up 6% today and spy ends flat lol.
They shook me out of my USO calls on Friday Fell for it again smfh
Damn I should I have put money into USO last week. Oil inventories were obviously gonna be shit
Anyone have thoughts on USO?
USO gonna open 130+ at this rate gahdam
USO is gonna go back to 140+ again and this time I'm actually gonna sell for real (no I won't)
USO long calls are my personal workhorse. More than 3.5x the realized profits of any other ticker YTD
"Explosions occurred in fuel tank in Libya's Zawiya refinery. Nature of explosions unknown - 2 sources", well, it's already been targeted last week unsuccessfully by Israeli drones. Looks like they got it this time as a message to US to keep fighting for then. Go go USO
USO ripping to the moon but SPY is flat? Fuckery
USO keeps notching up. Anyone know how much long the SPR rally has before price/demand really kicks in?
I’d take the profit on USO
Now, do i take 200% profit on my 8/14 USO $130 calls, or do i wait...
Im loaded with USO calls. See you boys at the pump.
No strait deal until after Trumps term. My USO calls sing but my wallet cries.
USO with a shrek on the 1 min
I never do it because I hate that much headline risk, but so far no one’s gone broke buying USO calls after a big “peace in Iran” selloff
SPY and USO trading in unison lol
USO calls done made me more than I'll spend the next three years on all liquid fuels, huzzah
USO on the rise, market seems like it is waiting for news
USO stock is pretty safe to hold until this Iran thing gets sorted out. Which it won’t
USO to $130 by tomorrow morning. I’d banbet it, but they took the teeth out of that.
I can’t believe we are about to break 300M on the SPR, which sounds bad until you realize the only time it was ever lower was 1977 when the thing was brand new and they’d just started pouring oil into the ground. That’s not a comparison, that’s a birthday. Oh and per the GAO about 100M of what’s left can’t even come out because the caverns are held together with Band-Aids, their words not mine. So the real number is like 200M deployable and crude’s in the mid 70s acting like we have a backstop. We don’t have a backstop. We have a decorative gas tank 😂🤌 $UCO $USO calls bby!!
Just bought gas for 3.64 USD at $BJWC in #CLT704MetroLINA. Get at me. Calls on USO AND #OILSuperMAJORS.
drake meme for me. looks at monday plans for long term investments. nope. looks at 0dte spy calls and USO puts. yup!
Full port into USO $50 puts. I'm sure it will work out for you /s
i trade options on /cl, /gc and /ng, so energy and metals rather than the ags and meats you're looking at. in those the liquidity is workable, crude and gold especially, natgas fine but jumpier. on the stuff you're eyeing the meats especially (live cattle, hogs) get thin fast and the fills will eat you alive, the big grains like corn and beans are better than people expect but still nothing like crude or gold. what sold me over the etfs is you're not stuck with the fund's mechanical roll. USO and UNG roll the front month on a fixed, front-run schedule and pay fees on top, so they track spot badly. trading the futures you pick your own contract and expiry. you don't escape the term structure, contango still costs you if you roll, but you're not paying the fund's version of it. just size for the point value and don't try to scalp them, the spreads punish getting in and out too often.
USO is only worth straddling overnight. Never moves during the day except down.
Today was the last time I play USO shit barely pumped all day then fell $2 in minutes
