Well, maybe it is time for you to sell and move on if you really think it is hopeless. I will continue to accumulate. If you are correct, I will be the loser. I am betting that production will be cut at the Dec OPEC meeting. If not, maybe the next one. As far as China, they (with their fake economy) slowed down a long time ago, it is just now showing in the market place. Not exactly a transparent economy over there. Anyway, I dont think anybody should hold a position they are not comfortable with and wish you good luck in what ever you do.
