I think what he meant to do was stop out his RBOB trade at 335, rather than 325, and if that is the case, it means a 5 cent profit, or $2100. We will get confirmation of this tomorrow.

His new total is -$18280

Like all compulsive gamblers, he will no doubt brag about his winnings, never minding the fact that his kids are going to be living in the family station wagon unless he gets more consistent.

Pupp, let me correct you, he cannot afford the gas for a station wagon, his family will live in a Rickshaw... as the transfer of wealth to china continues.

I stand corrected.... Phil really was short on RBOB at 325 briefly yesterday, and was stopped out when it ralled for an additional $4200 profit.
Good job, Phil. Now you are only at -$14280 after this recent success.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') am sure glad you guys wanted for me to lower my stops!

Furthermore, he is long on heating oil from 355 after that dip yesterday afternoon, and is going to make some money long, if he was not stopped out yesterday, he made 14 cents long, which is another $5880. he may be back to within $10K of even before too long.

Our man Phil took some money off the table yesterday on that heating oil trade by correctly raising his stop to 388. This is a 33 cent profit, or $13,860.
This dynamite trade almost completely erased his deficit. He was briefly at only -$420, or delightfully (for him) close to even.
However, that crude oil short sale was filled at 135 this morning, and has been summarily stopped out at 136, for a loss of $1000.
So, he is at -$1420 at the moment. Good six months work, Phil, almost broke even.

Sell July RBOB at 36200 - stop 35700.
Buy July heating oil at 36000 - stop 35500.
We're long July natural gas from apprx 1240 - raise stop to 1259!!!

Phil update: He is long on natural gas, and would like to go long on heating oil on a big pullback.
But, he has persisted with the trading strategy that has done squat for him in general over the last few months, which is to short crude oil and unleaded when it breaks the record. This paid off for him exactly twice but more traditionally has killed him.

The natural gas trade he did is fattening up however, it is up 27 cents today, at 1291. If he cashes it out, it's potentially another $5100, which will get Phil into positive territory.

I guess Phil is now stopped out on his 1240 long natural gas trade, for a 40-cent profit, or $4000.
So, our man is finally in the black, at +3580. This is the first time all year he has been in positive territory due to his insistence on shorting the crude oil market.
August is trading above 13 for the moment, no threat to that trade being filled.
Natural gas is up another 25 cents today.

We have not checked in with Phil for a few days:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')e're long August crude oil from apprx 14300 - stop 13700.
Buy August RBOB at 34700 - stop 34400.
Buy August heating oil at 39000 - stop 38700.
Buy August natural gas at 1270 - stop 1202.

but we can see that he has flipped to "bull" and is now long on crude oil. His stop is set at 6 cents, which is unusually big for Phil, who has normally been setting his stops about 1 point or maybe 2 at the most away from the entry price.
So it looks as though he is going to hang in there on a hurricane play or something.

Stopped on long August RBOB from apprx 34700 at apprx 34400. Sell August RBOB at 35500 - stop 36000.

Buy August natural gas at 1270 - stop 1202.

Predictably, Phil the Bull has been beaten up today.
The crude oil trade above was stopped out for a $5 loss, $5K down the drain. The above RBOB trade was down three cents, -$1260
The heating oil trade above was also filled and stopped out summarily, for a loss of 3 cents, or $1260
Natural gas is off 52 cents today, so he is live on that trade, and it seems to have a little breathing room before he is stopped out just over $12

So, +3580, minus $5000 minus $1260 minus another $1260....
-$3940, Phil is back in negative territory.
He might be able to make some money on the RBOB reversal, but his stop is too high, and his trade probably did not get filled.

Whenever the market moves like it does, we have to check in to see how much money Phil lost.
The RBOB trade above was filled yesterday, and stopped out today, for a 5 cent loss, or $2100.

I don't believe Phil's long crude oil trade above was ever filled. It got to 13543 on Thursday, but did not ever hit 135.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')ug 2008 141.88 n/a 136.69 142.13 135.43 141.65 +5.60

But it might have hit it on Wednesday so we will be prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt if he claims it as a trade.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')ug 2008 4.0310 n/a n/a 4.0553 3.8455 4.0374 +0.1858

The good news for Phil is that his 390 heating oil trade was filled, and it is up to 414 so this will be a major fattening up if he is smart enough to put some money in his pocket.

Until such time, if any, as he does, his total is -$12840

Phil took a couple of days off last week (to the undoubted relief of the people he gives 'advice" to).
His crude oil long trade at 140 came out of nowhere during this couple of days off.

We do not know what happened to his heating oil 390 long trade. Maybe he had the brains to take money off the table. It is currently trading at 4.06, which would be a 16 cent profit. He wants to go long again at 400.

His natural gas trade is nowhere near live, nor is his RBOB trade.
Phil has been trying to short RBOB since it was 2.95. You would think that he would see the big picture: If you are still trying to short this market, at 75 cents higher than he was on new years, he has it going the wrong way.

I am not ready to change his total yet.

and you are stopped out on this one too. Three cents/$1260
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')hey're slamming this pretty good. But remember, these (big) moves are becoming a little more commonplace," said Phil Flynn, analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago.

You ought to know, Phil. You, yourself, were setting your stops 1 point above and below your entry price in about May until you realized that a $1 move is nothing these days.

We have not checked on Phil for awhile:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ell September crude at 12570 - stop 13300.

Stopped on long August RBOB from apprx 31550 at apprx 30700. Sell August RBOB at 31500 - stop 31700.

Sell August heating oil at 37500 - stop 37800.

Stopped on long August natural gas from apprx 990 at apprx 970. Sell August natural gas at 1050 - stop 1070.


It looks as though he lost 8 1/2 cents on the above RBOB trade, that's $3570.

He also lost 20 cents on his long natural gas trade, that's another $2000.

The above crude oil trade is live at 12570 but headed the wrong way as of this morning.

I might have missed one or more successful trades from last week, but the total is now -$21670 for the moment.

I think oiluber is onto something... when Phil switches from bull to bear and vice versa, it is a pretty good indicator that the market is going the other way.

Well, Phil lowered his stops and put some money in his pocket (luckily) because the whole complex is long at the moment.

He managed to make 40 cents on the crude oil short sale, and also managed to make 1 cent on his RBOB trade above, which was filled yesterday and stopped out today when it went up 12 cents.

So 40 cents on the crude oil $400, 1 cent on the RBOB $420

-$20,850 and Phil was quite fortunate not to have been stopped out with more gigantic losses as these markets whipsaw him.

Nothing like a little short squeeze to trap the bears.

Phil the bear was nearly stopped out on the above crude oil short sale, which was probably filled this morning. As it is he is out of the money almost $3000.

At least he is using his brain and setting his stops a little higher now than he was. That's the good news. The bad news is, he is subject to losing $3K when he is stopped out later on.

A week goes by, and Phil is still live on his crude oil short sale. Thus far, he is in the money by $8K or so, and should probably use his brain and take some money off the table at some point.

None of these other trades is close to being filled. Phil may have finally found a way to keep from losing money trading energy: set his stops so far out that he stays out of the market.

Phil has put 5 dollars in his pocket, but still has 6-7 on the table. If Phil watched the weather like the rest of us, he might think about reversing his trade at some point.

The 830 natural gas long trade is live today. The other two still way out of the money.

This crude oil trade has been live for a couple of weeks, which is really unusual. Usually, Phil's trades are stopped out within a day or so.
