The Fund is a commodity pool issues units that may be purchased and sold on the American Stock Exchange. It engages in the speculative trading of futures contracts and options on futures contracts.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

What will drive oil prices down? A strong dollar? US leverage? Less demand?

This country (world) is addicted to oil. Demand will not lessen without major technological breakthroughs. The one's the Oil companies have been holding back for years. Even then, it will take years (and $$$) to transition....More

But I stand by my statement for OIL that crude will hit at least $150 this year. More like $200. If we attack Iran, it will only spike higher. Look up the Strait of Hormuz. If we attack Iran, they can easily knock off tankers heading though it, and most do. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Oil price will be volatile but with an overall upward trend. The huge drop in price the past two days makes this a good time to add USO as an outperform. Though influenced by many factors, I see falling export quantities as the primary driver for the cost of a barrel of oil. It's not speculation. Drilling alone won't lower prices, due to a lack of significant discoveries for the past 40 years. Saudi Arabia won't back up their talk with a reliable, significant and long term increase in their production. The decline in consumption in the US and EU won't offset the demand increase from the rest of the world. This will become evident over the next couple months. On top of all that, factor in: hurricane season, Americans delaying the purchase of heating oil until this fall, Iran, the falling dollar, increasing car sales in China and India, and it's likely we will still see $150 oil before the end of 2008.
