There must be quite a few ETFs that track WTI and similar on the US markets. More limited in choice over here - PBRT from Vanguard and a couple of others such as OLWP from ETFS.

Guessing the future of oil is too difficult for me. I play the large producers with down stream refining assets as they benefit from lower prices. Having said that, all the oil stock are beat up, so I'm under weight the sector.

i am also in on oil since $50 and have worked out that due to the drop in pump prices in the UK that came with the oil drop, i will have at least broken even after buying 1,400,000 litres from the pump

Lots of people think they have some strategic advantage in the short term vs the market when it comes to commodity pricing. It's gambling not investing.

Iran isn't even on-line yet and the Saudi's are trying to be the lower cost producer to Europe before Iran gets pumping.

I've heard reports, that shortly there will not be a single spot to store another barrel of oil and then people will shut the pumps off and the price will really crater. There's way more supply than demand, basic economics.

I've been considering buying the xle but haven't yet. I think if you can hold it for several years it's a good idea. Buckle your seatbelt though.

This one is/has been on my list for a while... Scared to pull the trigger, but when I do, I intend on holding for a while. Nice yield too.

Too volatile for my poor heart. I'll just buy more PM Rolexes.

I think we will see 25-30 for 12-18 months .....50 a barrel is years off IMHO....just to many geopolitical plays involved to really make long term investments....its a day by day thing to me.....i would play a little in oil futures but i mean very very little.

It's a finite resource, so eventually it will go up. The question is when?

Please explain. Oil does not have to run out for it to become more scare, as you well know.

I think if anything, we will destroy the planet before we run out of oil. But the sun imploding lol

My explanation is that oil will last for 5 billion more years but I agree with what you state. We will destroy the planet way before that happens.

Early last year there was a thread here with a few oil workers from different parts of the world, talking about the layoffs (due to low demand) they were seeing. Thought that was pretty good information back then when I read it and think even more of it now.
