I agree from a contrarian perspective. Though it's about timing and being willing to go through the emotion of that. You also don't have to pick bottoms and you can scale vs trying to buy all at once

    Also DBO appears to be a lot more stable. Looking it up looks like USO is front month crude which makes sense for it being weaker, whereas DBO is different, tracks changes in the DQIQ optimum yield crude oil excess return index

    here's an article that discusses the crude ETF's, DBO preformed worse in the past but performed better this time because it didn't have the up front crude exposure. The article concludes USL should outperform but if the deep cantango persists or gets worse than DBO would do better, and cautions against USO
