Contango is a condition in which distant delivery prices for futures exceed spot prices.
Today, almost US$60k profit later, I think it goes beyond contango… there is a trend here: distant futures are increasing in value faster (for the most part) than near-term contracts.
The opposite of that is the contango, the traditional commodity situation, where the spot is the lowest price, and the futures prices are higher than the spot price.

 contango
The basis is the difference between the futures price F and the spot price S of an asset, a difference that should shrink gradually to zero as the delivery date approaches.
If the basis is positive (F > S), the future is said to be in contango – observed almost uniformly for precious metals and index futures.
Futures are also said to be in contango if the futures price increases with the time-to-delivery, across all available current futures on the same underlying asset.

 Econbrowser: Contango, backwardation, and all that good stuff
From some of the comments that have appeared both here and on some other blogs about my post Oil futures and the future of oil, it seems that some readers might appreciate a technical background discussion of the way in which carrying costs and convenience yield influence the relation between spot prices and futures prices.
A second reason why the prediction that the expected December spot equals the June spot plus interest could fail to hold is that there may be a reward to you from delivering the oil to your customers in December that exceeds the actual December sales price.
I know that it's a little confusing to describe strategy 3 this way, which is why texts that are trying to explain contango and backwardation usually do it by discussing strategy 3 directly rather than the sum of strategy 1 and 2.

 Commodity Futures Pricing- Contango and Backwardation by Jim Finnegan
Figure 1 illustrates the Contango market relationship between spot and futures contract prices for gold based on mid-November, 2003 market data.
But a more fundamental factor distinguishes Contango and Backwardation futures markets.  Pure Contango markets like gold (or stock futures) provide traders with the ability to easily arbitrage discrepancies between spot and futures prices.
So gold futures, with the substitution of a storage cost yield for a dividend income yield, are priced much like financial futures such as stock or stock index futures based on the Cost of Carry model.
