few weeks ago when you saw wti at 18.00 that is when USO was rolling forward.  However they hold 25% of the may and June contracts.  So It is likely that it blows up today.  You will only find out after hours.  Fed pumping in so much money is going to lead to a massive inflation spike if they can't control it and that is when you want to be in oil.  XOM, RDS, CVX etc.  Not just yet.  if you want to invest in oil fund.  Wait for thing settle refineries to open and  then you want to buy DBO which is not limited to owning only font one or two months oil contrats.

    Honestly no one know what to expect in short term but I think in long term in 1 to 2 yr we are going to have massive inflation and oil will be at 100.00.  BTW that contract is is now in pennies.

    You want to be in

    You want to be in oil when the imbalance has clear signs of improving - the OPEC cuts last week did little to change that dynamic short term.  Respect charts and be on the lookout for news that would impact. 

    " ... when the imbalance

    " ... when the imbalance has clear signs of improving." there is no certainty in early triggers - an extremely valuable and important comment to make about oil and trading commodities in general.  Thanks Steve.

    One doesn't need to pick

    One doesn't need to pick the exact bottom - those who have tried end up with stinky fingers.  On the other hand if you have a support level and wish to take a shot go for it with a tight stop if that's your style

    I've been happy short oil
