Little surprised the French attacks/news didn't have an effect on CL.

the record amount of storage should temporarily mute any supply disruptions.

I was thinking the same - but looking more towards retaliations in the ME with oil production facilities getting taken out as a means to cut off ISIS/ISIL money flows. Cheap long dated far OTM calls would be ideal.

I don't understand what this means 30 handles before 60? What are handles?

I was trying to be precise, so people would not confuse "30 handle" for trading in the 30's, two very different things

Crude runs have recovered nicely, up nearly 1kkb/day from the early October lows.
I know it's only a guesstimate but interesting to see that the DOE is reporting production flat to higher than the last few months.

With Dec ~ $40 and Jan ~ $41.50 I know $30 is closer than $60 but I just don't think WTI goes that low. So it may not be any time soon but I have to pick $60 over $30.
