Wow. Under $27/barrel and many industry experts say it will be going
lower, maybe even to $10/barrel. Layoffs in the oil companies on the
horizon.

Lowest gas price for regular around here that I've seen is $1.83.
Yesterday the same station was at $1.87.

Dow is down big time today also.

Luckily, I wasn't going to sell today. Now might be a good time to put money into a
529 plan - with Vanguard mutual funds.

I am still not convinced these oil prices will last.
If they do, expect a far worse global downturn because production is
not that much higher and storage is at the breaking point. It means
the developing countries are simply not consuming even at bargain
prices and that is not a good thing.

You really have to watch what is going on in the house of Saud. If
they have a "spring" there, all bets are off. I will be loading up on
HAL and RTN.

Ya, Vanguard, good plan. I used the total stock market, VTSAX.
I put some money into a 3x leveraged fund when oil was about $35.
I was up 30% in weeks, now... I'm down over 80%.

I looked at some oil company bonds paying 45% to 80% interest.
IF, they survive, you'd get the interest every year, then at redemption
6 to 7 times your initial investment.

I just bought into oil. It won't stay this low forever and I can wait a
long time.

It might be worth throwing a couple grand at if you really feel lucky
but penny stocks are like lotto tickets. Most are losers.

.... unless you are talking about the ETF

That's not a penny stock and it was up over 8% on Friday. You would
have to go long on USO. It will pay off if you can wait. Oil can't
stay at these levels forever.


That is the ETF, The stock (US Oil Sands) is trading around 7-8 cents.
I will do a little homework on it and see what it looks like.

It's also trading at 2X average volume. A lot of activity...

Yeah I see it seems to have bottomed from a one year slide down from
40. I am going to give away a few bucks before I believe it is real.
