i've been a steady accumulator of oil on all weakness

i really see the downside risk in oil as much smaller than the upside potential and i like its disconnect from the equities markets.

also, a little geopolitical strife could send it soaring.

interestingly, on a longterm basis (decades), oil prices are POSITIVELY correlated with equity prices, however, the inverse is/was true in the much more recent past, which has led a lot of traders to falsely believe that lower oil helps equities, and higher oil hurts them
Oh I totally agree with you. I see big time upside potential for oil. The next hezbollah or middle east incident could send it soaring again. I know this is pure guessing....but I really believe we MIGHT see 100.00 barrel oil in our lifetime.

When you say you are a steady accumulator....are you using the USO fund or CL ?

This site is awsome...but I wish there were more people that would talk about commodities.
