    You'd need another numbnuts like Dubya in the Whitehouse to do something as daft as that, I suspect the new guy is a little more restrained, thankfully.

    LOIL looks like a good shout when the time is right, not sure if it's an AIG-backed security (ETF Securities had to stop trading in some of their stuff when AIG went tits up, which put me off them).

    God knows what oil will bottom at though. It might be close to the bottom now or it might head down to $20, which would hurt on 2x leverage if you pile in now.
    I will probably start drip feeding next year and then increase if oil finds a solid floor.

    The lower oil goes the more tempting it will be.

    As well as global depression the hydrogen fuel cell is the one thing that could scupper a 5 or 10 bagger.

    We could always raise some cash by selling the Falklands to Argentina. Oh wait a minute. They're broke too!

    The high price of oil has been just one further reason for the current slowdown, alongside high taxes and HMG incompetence in economic management.
    Oil will not recover until the worldwide recession is over, which will not be until at least 2010. Meanwhile, it is inevitable the the oil price will stagnate and the oil states will not get one ounce of sympathy from me, especially Russia after the abominable treatment of BP !!

    No shiite, it's LSE code is CRUD and it simply tracks the crude oil price.
    and I'm gonna buy piles of it.
    Have a look at LOIL also - that's the leveraged version of CRUD. Only for grown ups that one though.

    CRUD , that's classic! Had no idea about this one - will monitor it. Been looking at covered warrants instead (e.g. SV03), which are highly leveraged on the movement of crude.

    If oil goes below $20 I vow to stop posting on this forum for as long as it stays below that amount. Bring on the commodities bubble crash!

    You took out a mortgage on a cardboard box?

    Typical of all this irresponsible borrowing.

    Or if you have one of them new builds, have your mortgage paid off and be living in a cardboard box.
