Did anyone notice the complete collapse in the oil market today? The price of oil fell to negative $36.20 a barrel—yes, you read that right. Oil producers will pay you to take their oil. This sounds like it has the potential of a nice Retirement job. Pickup a few barrels of oil and get a check.

nothing cures low prices like low prices ... nothing cures high prices like high prices .

ultimately the cost of producing a barrel of oil has not gone down . so eventually supply and demand fall back in line

this too will fix itself .
