I am going to take a quickie 23% profit here and sell my United States Oil Fund (USO) May, 2016 $8 calls.

Time to get some dry powder so I can buy back on the next dip.

But the rumor, sell the news. That?s how you make money in the options market.

Over the weekend, not only did we get the rumors of a meeting to cap oil production, we got an actual agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia!

More than in any other instrument, the nimble have been rewarded in trading oil. This gives us the dry powder to buy then next -6% capitulation sell off day.
