People think of a WTI oil futures contract as a purely financial instrument, but it legally requires delivery of 1,000 barrels of light, sweet crude to Cushing, Okla. With every tank filled to the brim back then, owners of any spare storage could have charged an outrageous sum—the reason you got paid to buy the contract.
