Oil prices are gonna go up short term for sure........you could see at least a 10 dollar increase.

Why? The moratorium on drilling? That will have little if any effect on short term oil prices. If SHTF in the Euro zone then oil is heading downwards.

i sold some my SCO, but not all of it yet.

there is a buttload of oil above ground these days and demand just ain't there.

I've been watching DIG and DUG throughout the oil crisis and DIG is almost at its 3 month low.......thats all I'm saying; and yes I think the moratorium will effect it some.... It sure killed the Dow with 5.00 gas fears.

Nice lil buy there. I wish I would have shorted BP on april 20th....... About 100 shares would have been a nice sell this week

It is certainly possible that you are right about oil bottoming but I really don't see the moratorium having any effect at all in the short term. The GOM produces only around 4% of the world's oil and we are talking about wells that would not be producing for a year or more. Maybe there is a psychological effect but there really is no supply/demand impact. I guess it really depends on how you see the world economy playing out. Personally, I'm 90% in cash but plan to buy some oil stocks as a large percentage of my mix when I think we have bottomed. No idea when that will happen but there are too many ominous rumblings right now for me to be investing in oil or anything else really.

I no longer touch these ETF commodity funds. The decay on them over time is absurd. I made a lot on DUG back in the day when oil was over $100, but that was only because I was fortunate to time it perfectly. I wouldn't do it again, just because if you miss the timing, you lose--even if you are right in the medium/long term.

I know, I'm just saying that nobody should look at these funds as more than a very short-term swing trade.

say what? The moratorium affects planned development wells that were to put on production right after completion. The decision will definitely affect GOM production levels. But I agree I dont think it affects oil prices substantially.

The moratorium is on all deep-water GOM wells, not just new exploration wells. I doubt we see significant upward pressure on oil prices as a result though. Demand should remain fairly flat over the next 6 months as concerns over EU sovereign debt and a Chinese slowdown weighs on investor sentiment.

+1. Asia is the global marginal commodity buyer, and that train is hitting the skids hard.

This seems like a good buy IMO. Oil prices will definitely go up. It's assured just like death and taxes
