For a small investor, what is the best way to speculate on crude oil?
I've found the Barclays' iPath ETNs intriguing, but I am swayed by two
things:
- Limited volume, large tick sizes
- Questions on how closely a managed futures account can closely match
$/barrel
Oil sales or service companies are another option, there are plenty of
liquid stocks out there, but I'm looking to match crude oil closely,
and sales/service stocks wouldnt really do that.
Would welcome your thoughts.
