I just looked up WTI.  It says  $20.40 ten minutes ago.  I wonder when it hit $7.  Did it bottom and then go up?

spot bids Tuesday and Wednesday in So. TX @ $4.00 and Central OK @ $7.00 FOB at the wellhead/lease.  Crude buyers are looking for whatever ways they can to reject barrels due to lack of market/storage options.  IMO, some real negative price-gouging going on by those with storage options - tough situation especially for the smaller producer with limited market presence/stroke with crude buyers.
