I am just not sure, how long the trend will be.

I just want to make sure I have some exposure to oil as I think medium term it will be one of the few sectors to provide a positive return.<BR/><BR/>pfstock - You are correct. IXC invests in Oil companies. I think these are better, less volatile and safer over the medium term than directly investing in Oil. For direct exposure USO and OIL are better and I am looking at them also down the line. Your disclaimer is a great point for all folks reading investment related blogs.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14309605333128481208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026484337051027793.post-30060538021737384842008-06-20T13:08:00.000-04:002008-06-20T13:08:00.000-04:00Wrong! IXC is NOT the ETF that most closely tracks the price of crude oil. That would be either USO or OIL. IXC is a global energy fund that tracks companies (such as Exxon, BP, Chevron, etc.) that are in the oil sector. If you invested in IXC a year ago, you'd be up about 20% for the year.<BR/><BR/>By contrast, USO and OIL track the underlying crude oil price. If you had invested in these, you would be up over 100% in the past year! So choose your ETFs carefully...<BR/><BR/>Now, I should add my standard disclaimer that although I mention a particular investment does not necessarily mean that I think it will go up in value. Invest at your own risk.pfstockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16235204038486228085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026484337051027793.post-48657528913055819872008-06-20T11:06:00.000-04:002008-06-20T11:06:00.000-04:00Oil may not gain much more this year, but it will probably get to $200 in the next few years. Yes, invest in oil. Maybe $250, but the destruction of the economy will cut back on demand at that price, so I don't think it will much higher than that. <BR/><BR/>If China raises there currency against the dollar, than oil will be cheaper for billions of people in China, which will probably increase their demand - pushing prices higher for us and our weak dollar.Curthttp://www.pennyjobs.comnoreply@blogger.com
