Pity how all these oil ETFs have underperformed the underlying commodity so badly.

A quick note: DUG is loosely correlated to the *inverse* of the price of oil. If the price of oil shoots up, DUG is going to fall.

If one expects the price of oil to increase, DIG is the ProShares ETF to buy.

Thanks for the great work you do on your blog, it’s one of my favorites.

USO is the most liquid just because that’s what traders have latched on to, as it is the front month contract of oil. DBO is slightly less liquid but has been our preferred method of playing oil.

good idea to post this up sun. long term investors should definitely think about adding this to their investment mix for commodity exposure and strong fundamentals going forward
