The HBP Nymex Oil Bear+ ETF (HOD-T) is characterized by its 2x leverage on the downside, making it more suited as a trading vehicle rather than a long-term investment. Experts highlight that leveraged ETFs like HOD-T require careful management, as a 10% loss necessitates an 11% gain just to break even. Recent geopolitical developments, particularly concerning the Strait of Hormuz, indicate that the extreme fluctuations in oil prices may not sustain, with some suggesting there is an ample supply of oil available despite current disruptions. This ETF serves as a speculative position for investors anticipating falling oil prices, but caution is advised due to inherent risks, particularly if held for longer durations. Strategic rebalancing of profits is recommended for those engaging with this financial instrument.

WAIT

Nymex Oil Bear+ ETF. Probably not a bad vehicle to hedge some of your larger positions. Wait until the oil trend starts to turn down before putting in this position.

DON'T BUY

Oil shortages are going to start to kick in pretty soon because of major cutbacks in drilling and production. Supply crunch is coming next. He would not be short oil or any commodity right now.

DON'T BUY

This moves in the inverse direction to crude oil prices times two. Feels crude will remain relatively strong at these levels so he would be negative on this.

SELL

Leveraged bear ETF on oil. Goes in the opposite direction of the commodity. There are some mechanical problems with these ETF’s, which can exaggerate their movements and make them very unpredictable. Would not encourage anyone to hold these. Speculative.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 21/08. Up 85%.) At the time, he thought oil prices were too high. You mustn't hold these as long-term holds. Really designed as a trading instrument.

DON'T BUY

Becoming more positive on oil market. Starting to see China and the rest of the world expand. With the financial crisis, oil producing companies have dramatically cut CapX budgets so there will be much less supply coming on in the next year or two.

DON'T BUY

Expect oil will trade in a sideways range at $45-$50 for the next 6 months, so this would not be a good vehicle. HBP Energy Bull (HEU-T) might be a better way to go.

DON'T BUY

This one profits when the price of oil goes down. If oil goes down 1%, this one goes up 2%. Doesn't have a clue where oil is going.

TOP PICK

Pair trade going long on both HBP Nymex Oil Bear (HOD-T) and HBP NYMEX Nat'l Gas Bull (HNU-T). Allows you to bet that the price of oil and the price of natural gas are going to narrow. A Short on crude and a Long on gas. (SEE Top Pick HNU-T)

DON'T BUY

A leveraged inverse ETF. 2 times the negative of what oil is doing. If oil goes up, this will go down 2X’s. Chart shows a big decline because oil has been going up. His long-term view is that oil will be at or higher than current prices.

TOP PICK

Thinks the price of oil is going to come down so is effectively a short on oil. It will go up twice what oil will go down.
