Better yet you can play hedging games with your oil. Sell a june delivery contract to lock in your profit now. If June prices collapse buy a contract to take delivery in June and sell one to deliver in July. You never have to get to Port until prices are high enough to be worth actually making a delivery, and you make money every month.

Details of the above are important to get just right. It works out if you get all the details right.
