Mac, I have traded oil in the past. All I can say is that it is a work out, requires intense attention and is subject to market psychology as much (or more than) any legitimate market forces. Consider the money you 'invest' in oil futures speculative.you're gambling, not investing. Because of the recent volatility in the market (when I say 'recent', I mean since Katrina), you are bound to pay a premium regardless of what you think (bet) oil will do in the near-term. When I am asked about the market, I always suggest a good consumer driven dividend paying stock (P & G or GE are two good ones) with yields close to 5%. Good luck.
