    OP, buy a basket of the high-yielding MLP CEFs....it will be a rocky ride, but you will likely collect some dividends, and many are trading at wide discounts to NAV right now.

    I own SZC and FEI....there is certainly room to the downside but I think over the next couple years things will stabilize in the global oil markets.

    That's a great idea but I hate dividends as a foreign investor subjected to WHT

    After much thinking, the cheapest way of betting on oil seems to be buying Norwegian Krona. The correlation is staggering.

    Hi,

    I have exactly the same problem: how to make money on the oil return to 40USD? I have started this thread: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/crude-oil.342757/

    I am using WisdomTree WTI Crude Oil 2x Daily Leveraged (Loi.L) but would like to listen alternative ways of playing this.

    Thanks,
    Joaquim

    I know :( And in the middle of all that talk my post got unanswered and forgotten... still trying to figure out if the way I am trading this oil situation is reasonable or not... to me it makes sense, but I am highly concerned about about etf depreciation due to volatility before oil gets to 40USD

    Hmmm. What is the spot price of oil right now? I did not know oil had a spot price, like gold in London.
