DON'T BUY

DB Crude Oil Double Short (DTO-N) or U.S. Oil Fund (USO-N)? Really doesn’t like the leverage to ETFs. People really haven’t taken a close look as to how these things can trade. These are a very short term trading vehicle and even if you are in the right direction, because they recalculate the price on a daily basis, you can lose money. You have to be really knowledgeable and really paying attention.

SHORT

Would you consider shorting this? Short-term, you might have a good play here because he thinks oil has run up over $100 just on the back of some geopolitical tension out of Egypt. Realistically he feels the optimal oil price should be $85-$90. Long-term, he would not short oil as fundamentals continue to look good with demand from global economies coupled with some of the challenges of getting oil out of the ground.

DON'T BUY

Poster child of the challenges of investing in commodities. Pretty brutal chart. Has to buy and sell futures.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Feb 2/09, Up 37.08%)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 2/09. Up 29%.) This was disappointing. Oil was at about $40 and has now almost doubled. Right investment call for buying oil when it was cheap but was the wrong vehicle. Playing through growing producers would be a better way.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 2/09. Up 28.73%.)

DON'T BUY

Seasonality of crude oil tends to be from the end of November right through until the end of June. We are still in the seasonal strength but are getting very close to the end. He has difficulty with this one. When you have the futures contracts rolling over you start losing value. Also, this is a US product and the US$ has been going lower.

TOP PICK

A direct play on oil. Oil stocks have had a bit of a move and, especially in the US, got little expensive relative to oil. Thinks oil supplies will get tighter. Looking for $70 oil before year-end.

COMMENT

Prefers to play by companies themselves, as he is a long-term investor. Wants a good operator.

COMMENT

Set up to invest in US crude contracts. Has a users futures contract to get exposure. Probably the only way that general investors can get exposure to a direct play on crude prices.

COMMENT

There are several different ways to play the oil industry. In Canada there is the iUnits S7P/TSE Energy E.T.F. (XEG-T) and Claymore Oil Sands E.T.F. (CLO-T). The XEG will be much more gassy and CLO is more oil. There is also the U.S. Oil Fund E.T.F. (USO-A) for crude oil.
