Wilbur Ross (Trades, Portfolio), distressed assets investor and CEO of WL Ross & Co., told CNBC Tuesday morning two reasons why oil prices will not recover but likely not go any lower in the near future.

His strategy is to buy bonds of exploration and production companies as they "get smacked down." He also bought a public chemicals distribution company, Nexeo Solutions (NXEO, Financial), whose margins expand when oil drops.
