Can a commodity have a negative price?

yes, when people who can't actually receive the goods need to get rid of the contract. Canadian oil is already negative

This, i have a universal cert for HVAC and the only way youd ever get in trouble for venting refrigerant to the atmosphere is if you videotaped yourself doing it, saying you are doing it, while holding your drivers licence and that days newspaper.
