Have to go to a dental appointment (also no great fun)... Will get to this later. About USO - I think it's good for a relatively short term position, but for the longer term, it suffers from a downdraft. Check where it was in 2009, when the oil was at around the same price as now - and where it's now. Never looked into the mechanics, but I think this is related to the way front month futures rotate - meaning, the contango/backwardation interplay, as well as - possibly - other costs involved. Anyway, for the long term, it's a good short, at the right time - but not a long.
