The jet commute is dying as fast as red-lining companies can find ways around them, and extravagance at the executive level, where the jets are, is being challenged by a conservative Asian behavior protocol. Yes! high flying Yankee Doodle Dandy, you are so, disposable, and about to be grounded! Asians telecommute with Microsoft-less systems from India, that work, and you will follow! American down-sizing began with GM and Chrysler and will end in humility and greater conservatism and thrift than ever before. We will, by the end of the decade, be a country of rail travel, intercity, and coast to coast, or a damn lot of bikers and walkers! We can no better afford the importing of foreign cars than the foreign oil to run them, no kidding now - both require the kind of foreign exchange that got us into a mess! Look to bus, rail, and battery plug-in cars for solutions to energy problems about to come crashing down on our heads! No matter how poorly we evaluate them, solar, wind, wave, hydro, tidal and geothermal power are all we have!

None of them really track daily oil prices the way one would want. Personally, I am playing a mix of USO, DXO, and occasionally DBO. USL is a less volatile one.

A trader I follow on Twitter has done some interesting posts on distinguishing between them, see http://character141.blogspot.com/ Surya: All the oil ETFs are a little different in the way they respond to the futures curve.
