Might be that those buying the puts are rolling in the bucks their
long oil positions gave them. Simple spreading of risk.
I didn't look at the premiums.
There's no real reason for oil to pull back significantly.
And every reason for it to rise.
Oil is not a replaceable commodity.
Oil is not oats, corn, beans, etc.
Just plant more acreage when prices are high, and watch the
supply/demand cycle at work.
Can't do that with oil.
You use it and it's gone.
Fact of life on the planet Earth.
