This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

The HBP Nymex Oil Bear+ ETF (HOD-T) is a leveraged ETF designed for investors with a bearish outlook on oil prices. The two expert reviews emphasize the ETF's 2x leverage on the downside, indicating that it is primarily suited for short-term trading rather than long-term investment. Given the complexities of leveraged instruments, a small loss necessitates a proportionately larger gain to break even, making it crucial for investors to actively manage their positions. Current geopolitical dynamics, particularly relating to the Strait of Hormuz, paint a nuanced picture of the oil market, where oversupply could keep prices lower than anticipated despite various tensions. Investors should consider their risk tolerance and the potential volatility associated with such leveraged positions.

TRADE

Don't forget that it has 2x leverage on the downside. With leveraged ETFs, they're more a trading vehicle than a long-term hold. A 10% loss requires an 11% gain just to get even.

News from Strait of Hormuz is that things are being worked out. Despite 20% of oil being blocked, we couldn't get oil to $150 -- seems there's a lot of oil sloshing around the system. A reopened Strait could see oil normalize substantially lower. A geopolitical bet on what might happen in political negotiations, and that's hard to take a position on.

If you think oil's going lower, this is a way to play it. Rebalance your profits as you go.

RISKY

The danger is the promise of 2:1 daily exposure in terms of leverage. Because of that daily exposure to rebalancing (buying higher and selling lower), they're bad long-term hold.

This one is a double-leveraged down. For a very, very short-term view. There may be other ETFs, but this is the one he's aware of.

DON'T BUY

Will both spike when the pandemic is over? Will both spike when the pandemic is over? HOU-T is the upward moving ETF. It is also a two times ETF. The HOU-T is certainly the side to be on today. If the virus news is true then there will be a lot of pent up demand for oil. But he is not in favour of leveraging. These are intended for day traders.

COMMENT

A short-term way of betting against oil. A very leveraged situation, 2 to 1. This is for speculators, not investors, and is quite a bit higher risk.

SELL

Double the inverse return of oil. He believes that oil is really close to the bottom. He would take profit here.

COMMENT

Gains value if oil goes down. A double down. Good for short term speculation. If it takes 6 months to get there it might lose you money due to rebalancing.

BUY

Double bear ETF for crude oil. Price of oil is already starting to break down. This is a reasonable trade. If we get back to $105 then something has changed with oil.

BUY

Thinks keystone ultimately gets done. Thinks nothing will get done until after the 2014 mid-term US elections. 2017 is when we are talking about these things coming on stream. This is a double bear so for short term trades. There is a reasonable trade here. If we break about above $110 this is not something you want to hold.

SELL

Oil does well until end of September. Crude oil has gone parabolic, which is unusual. When it hits the peak, look out for the stock market. Everything is positive, don’t short yet, but watch for a move to the downside by the end of August. These vehicles work well when you are in a very strong trend.

DON'T BUY

Most ETFs you can hold forever unless they use leveraged. This is a double down for oil. You could get a drag of 15% just on the rebalancing. There are a lot of moving parts here. 2-3 weeks at a time, if you are taking a short term view, you can do fine. He is bearish on oil but don’t get into this one.

RISKY

Talking about the next month trading this is okay as a speculative buy. Watch the oil prices.

COMMENT
Nymex Oil Bear+ ETF. You have to be aware that these are intended for short-term trading. If you hold this for 3 months, you are going to lose because of the way the prices are calculated on a daily basis.
COMMENT
Nymex Oil Bear+ ETF. This is really a technical trade and you want to be short term. Typically held 2 to 3 days only. If you hold too long returns can be eaten into very quickly. Technical indicators are very important to establish entry and exit points so look for oversold and overbought indicators.
COMMENT
NYMEX Oil Bear+ ETF. If you have a basket of oil stocks such as Suncor (SU-T) or Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) and you want to protect yourself from a potential decline, this might be okay. These doubles are not long-term plays but short-term trading vehicles.
COMMENT
Nymex Oil Bear+ ETF. For shorting oil this is as good as any. Thinks oil is going to be between $50 and $60 and is at the top trend of where he thinks it will trade. If he were doing it, he would buy the S&P GSCI Crude Oil (OIL-N) ETF and write options on it.
