  • Hi, My name is Justin and Im with Commodity
    Trading Research, today were reviewing our
    recently published article

5
  • Occidental Petroleum OXY Unusual Call Option
    Activity

6
  • As I mentioned a few days ago, tomorrows OPEC
    meeting has big consequences for the oil market.
    If smaller OPEC members convince Saudi Arabia to
    cut production, we could see a sudden upturn in
    oil prices.

7
  • On the other hand if the Saudis stick to their
    guns, an abrupt downturn into the mid-30 a
    barrel range becomes quite possible.

8
  • Which is the most likely scenario?
  • As I mentioned on Tuesday, the de-facto leader of
    the Middle Eastern oil cartel, Saudi Arabia, will
    likely hold production steady in an effort to
    retain market share.

9
  • But someone with a big bank rollmight see it
    differently

10
  • On Tuesday a well-heeled trader bought 14,000
    Occidental Petroleum OXY 76.50 calls expiring
    on December 18th, 2015. With the trader paying
    1.00 a contract to open the position hes making
    a 1.4 million bet!

11
  • Keep in mind, 58 billion market cap OXY is the
    second largest independent oil and gas producer
    in the world behind ConocoPhillips COP.

12
  • I dont know about you, but to me it looks like
    someone is betting Saudi Arabia is about to fold
    under the pressure of low oil prices!

13
  • Lets be clear

14
  • If OXY closes below 76.50 on December 18th,
    2015, our esteemed trader will instantly lose
    1.4 million.

15
  • But with the results of the closely watched OPEC
    meeting hitting the wires late tomorrow, well
    very likely know how this trade pans out by the
    middle of next week.

16
  • Heres something else I find interesting

17

18
  • As you can see, OXY is trading at a very
    important technical downtrend (red line) from the
    early 2015 highs. Should OPEC surprise the market
    tomorrow, a break above 77.50 resistance will
    bring in a slew of new buyers.

19
  • On the other hand, if bulls retreat from the
    77.50 area on an uneventful OPEC meeting,a quick
    downturn towards 70 will likely play out.

20
  • One thing is for certain

21
  • Im keeping a close eye on OXY and many other
    oil producers tomorrow and early next week. A
    surprise production cut from OPEC will get me
    instantly bullish on much of the oil exploration
    industry.

22
  • Keep in mind, oil industry ETFs are a quick and
    efficient means of diversifying in the oil
    industry.
