Also, I would like to see that you can't buy a commodity without taking
delivery. They drove the crude prices up to $100 a barrel in 2008
despite oil tankers unable to load due to the storage tanks being full.

That could be a very messy proposition. As a kid, I knew of a local
"guy" who actually took delivery. Since he couldn't arrange appropriate
storage, he would up with 1,000 tons of raw sugar dumped in his yard.
Made for a very "sticky" situation and for him, very embarassing as
well. :-) He was the laughing stock of the town for many months
thereafter. Real "knee-slapper".....
