AI Summary
Summary
The author argues for a bullish position on oil, citing geopolitical instability in the Persian Gulf and its impact on global shipping. The thesis is based on analysis from Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) YouTube channels which, according to the author, have accurately predicted recent escalations.
The author has taken a small, personal position in UCO call options, framing the trade as a speculative bet on escalating conflict over the weekend.
Quality assessment: This is pure speculation based on geopolitical events interpreted through non-financial, open-source intelligence channels. It lacks any fundamental or technical analysis of the oil market itself and relies on anecdotal evidence of past predictions.

I love to watch the OSINT channels, HI Sutton, Whats Going on with Shipping, Ryan Mcbeth, Cappy Army, Preston Stewart, and a few others. These guys are ahead of the game and i pulled the trigger to pick up a single apr 16 36$ strike call option on UCO. (at least i put my money, though meager, where my mouth is....right next to the crayons i eat before bedtime).
Whats going on with shipping's channel has in particular clearly articulated just how bad the planning is around safe passage through the straits, watch the last 3 days of videos. Cappy Army (formerly of Task and Purpose) did a video on Kharg on friday that made me pull the trigger. Sure as anything, after the closing bell Kharg goes down.
The night before the first strike at the end of february, Ryan McBeth said it was gonna go down that night and i thought about buying a long call a few months out on oil and i said nah.....and went to sleep.
Now, i'm not saying you should take financial advice from youtube OSINT guys nor a rando like me. But i've lived through Iraq one, Iraq 2 elecrtic boogaloo, the dotcom crash, and had a frontrow seat for 2008 as a mortgage broker.
The point is, when the world is on fire going into the weekend and multiple sources are telling you the fire is spreading, go long on whatever makes money from the ashes be it calls or puts.
May your tendies be tasty
TLDR: Persian Gulf r Fked Long UCO
