<<which puts would be the best candidates for a bet on oil going from 30, down to its historical average?>>

I don't know what the historical average is, but you probably should look into put options on crude oil futures if you feel strongly about your bet. I believe they exist through NYMEX. I've never traded them or done any research on them.

Jacob, I dabble in puts occasionally. If you go to futuresguide.com you might look at a Bear Put Spread as a conservative way to bet that prices ease in the Spring.....Oil prices that is.. I wouldn't make a similar bet against natural gas prices
