Another Macroshares Oil Arbitrage Opportunity

Well, I thought about this and decided it was absolutely OK. First, I'm disclosing my position. That puts everyone on notice that I might have something to gain from the article and, if they don't trust me, I could be simply pumping. The very fact that Seeking Alpha asks for disclosure indicates that they anticipate people will write about positions they hold. Frankly, I'm turned off when I read someone's analysis and they DON'T have a position. Like...why don't they put their money where their mouth is. Second, I think it has less credibility to write about something after the fact. I could simply make up a bunch of trades with the benefit of hindsight and look brilliant. Third, I'm looking to share the information so that others can profit too.
