In times of cheap oil prices, the forward curve is often in contango.
That means that the price for a prompt delivery is cheaper than a delivery in the future.
So if you go long crude with futures, each month you have to roll your contracts before they expire, and buy a more expensive one. So you end up paying a premium.
Kinda like if you want to store oil to speculate, you have to pay for storage.
You might as well buy a basket of oil majors stocks, which are a pure play on oil prices
We invest in things that should not be
Non paywalled version anyone?

US is very different than Europe, because you pay from your own pocket for a lot of things (eg healthcare) that are state sponsored elsewhere. Also factor rent in NYC/SV
Also worth checking: Skritter.com

A smart move would be a corporate tax at the European Union level

1) Don't judge yourself after one month at your company, it takes time to fit in an learn the ropes
2) Don't be too hard on yourself. Your brain needs some rest. Rest as long as you need. Don't ever compare yourself to Zuck, you see a billionaire now but he was a student when he started FB, and probably as lost as you are.
3) Not much time? Focus on the essential: find a real problem to solve. Maybe a problem you have, maybe a friend's. Maybe something related to your hobby. Don't focus too much on coding, maybe you can solve problems with a simple spreadsheet for now, and build a site when you have your first customers

Don't choose a job for the money.
Choose a problem you want to solve, and work on this on the long term.

Really nice list, I recently switched all my email to Fastmail because I don't want to lose everything if Google decides to.
Is there any alternative to Youtube though?
I guess it would be video hosting paid by creators, eg Vimeo
