CAO was Short Oil

I found it interesting that CAO went bankrupt shorting the price of oil. It makes sense given they went bankrupt near the top but I had thought they just levered up too much and got burned by recent volatility or had a trader putting bad trades in the drawer. Apparently they did not receive the memo that commodities are in a multi-year bull market and bet the wrong way as a firm.

This news makes it more likely to me that oil has put in a 6 month top.
