THE PIPELINE HAS BEEN REVERSED

Enbridge: go fuck yourself.

What sort of Alice in Wonderland shit is this? The amount of oil stockpiled at Cushing is ridiculous, thanks to the tar sands at Alberta, Canada. This oil, alongside the shit in West Texas that is WITHOUT PIPELINE support, is only part of the reason why Brent blew out versus WTI by $30 per barrel. Its been shrunk to $9 on glorious reversals of fortune.

Last week 321 crack spreads started to get crushed on little to no news. Obviously there were some jackass Senators out there who were making directional bets, privy to the pending news of “pipeline reversal.”

Here’s the news, just in case you missed it.

So all we needed to do was “reverse the pipeline” to get WTI higher? Color me cynical, but go fuck yourself. The infrastructure that built the refiner story isn’t solely based around the “pipeline flow.” It’s about NOT HAVING ANY COCKSUCKING pipelines– AT ALL– in the Eagle Ford shale. Fuckers whip Mexicans to carry those barrels on their backs to the rail-yard.

I wonder if they could reverse some natural gas pipeline to make it more expensive. Or, how about this: let’s reverse the Italian CDS pipeline, so it goes lower and people won’t bug the fuck out over Unicredit’s eventual bankruptcy. Better yet, let’s “reverse the pipeline” on America’s brain drain. Yeah, instead of American Dads living vicariously through their idiot kids, with futile attempts to raise the next Payton Manning, they will sit them down to read a book. As you obsess over the basketball lockout, your country is being stolen from you.

Today our national debt hit $15 trillion, officially eclipsing the 100% debt/GDP ratio–a 49% increase since 0bama was elected in 2008. Our borrowing rates are at record lows. The debt is easily financed because America is the standard. However, it’s obvious to anyone but the dicksuckers in Congress, this path will lead to the destruction of the economy. But, feel better, because by the time we go under, the world will be a smoldering mess. The fall of the great American empire will be a giant vortex, sucking the entire world into its center. When we come out on the other end, our aircraft carriers will be docked in Shenzen.

    You are a crazy fuck, Fly. But you always make me laugh and are great at printing the salient facts.

    Go America! A true cataclysm of brainless fuck-tards.

    Thank God they reversed that fucking pipeline! Those poor Texan bastards were only getting $90 WTI.

    Oh, one last thing before I go (NO COLUMBO), as of last week Cushing had 31 million barrels of motherfucking oil reserves.

    That’s called a monumental glut.

    So what exactly does reversing the pipeline accomplish? Is this like a GMCR inventory swap?

        oil markets are fucked in the head. frankly, traders have been looking for every freaking excuse to narrow the brent-wti gap. when ghadaffi fell, brent knifed lower, as if their entire production capacity was flipped on over night.

    Mr. Fly…how you nail the target on such a regular basis.

    I know I have cried wolf (way too soon) only because my perverse mind saw the writing on the wall long ago (blame it on being raised in Malibu in the 70’s)

    My sister and brother-in-law have been forcing their two boys on the baseball escalator for the last 15 years.

    The outcome:

    Two blown out rotater cuffs, one at 15, one at 16. $300-400K spent traveling around the country for years, putting the husbands lost dreams onto their own kids.(did I mention he lost his $200K construction job?)

    The second outcome:

    Selling the million+ dollar house in CA to the the very first bidder for 750K.

    The third outcome:

    Sorry kids, you are going to have to go to community college now, it seems mommy and daddy spent all the money because we just KNEW you’d be big baseball players one day…and get all sorts of scholarships…NOT!!

    Maybe if they were not skinny little white boys, I don’t know…but the writing was on the wall 10 years ago.

    Divorce is the only rational outcome. The mother, a CA state school teacher, with tenure. (a beautiful thing)

    How will the kids look at the parents down the road?

    Selfish parenting 101.

    Anyone else seeing what is happening in southern california?

    Real Estate prices are in the process of capitulation if you will. The house you bought 90 days ago is worth 5-10% less today. Don’t believe the media bullshit garbage. This is happening across the board and the banks know it. This is first hand information too so fuck you assholes who bought in 2008-09-1`0 that thought you were being shrewd and smart. You are underwater fucktards!

    This pipeline is highly overrated. If there is a contango such as brent/WTI price (not a real contango) disparity it will get corrected in time, one way or the other. This pipeline is part of that. The market will do that. The arb will be closed out. The western refiners benefitted from it for many months. They got a lot of debt paid off, they are partly hedged going forward. They will be more profitable even with leveled out prices.

    I want a technocrat government, like the Italians. I want Congress reduced to rubber-stamping what rational people tell them to do.

    Just march all the blue and red dudes off to the coal mines to do something useful with their lives for a change. Make political ideology a capital offense.

    I’m sick of this.
