February is the best month for crude
There's no better time of the year to like crude than February. It's gained an average of 5.27% in February since 2000 and has risen in 12 of the past 15 Februarys.
It's a different kind of environment for oil a the moment than any time during the commodity cycle that started in 2000, so caution is warranted but even last year, oil gained 3.15% in February.
