Forecast & Opinion from my Study / Analytics:
Crude Oil - - ProShares - ETF and other Energy - Oil / Gas Sector Companies and ETFs are tracking well. Although Crude Oil - - ProShares - ETF has been in a strong Pull-Back however, it has rallied for about 6 month and has now pulled back again. That could end soon. I said "could."

Descending - Yes, It is Descending UNTIL this Mini-Rally Proves Itself.My Current Forecast for Crude Oil is more bright as you may be lead to think!
If you own or are considering owning Energy - Oil / Gas Companies or ETFs, the securities are currently offering some promise for Buying. Prudent investing supports having a long look and considering ownership in the coming months ahead. Crude Oil - - ProShares - ETF is currently Technically not very strong. That could change in the coming weeks but for now it remains on a Strong Bearish Forecast - "Warning."
My Current Opinion is to continue to HOLD-CASH in anticipation of Buying at a future time frame. I am suggesting that a meaningful Pull-Back may resume in the foreseeable future.
Fundamentally - ( weighting - 40% ): My Analytics (weighting) for my Fundamental Valuation play a vital role in profitable managing money. At this time my Valuations for Crude Oil and Energy are not as positive at perhaps you are being told by other sources. Plainly stated they are Improving and then Descending again. Have a look at my recent Forecasts for Exxon Mobil and Chevron.
Technically - ( weighting - 35% ): Even with this ETF, my Indicators are notably breaking down. It is only currently slightly off its highs of $40 selling for $32. When (UCO) began trading in late 2008 it was selling for about $108 per share.
The market has had incredible growth for the years since and this view of Crude Oil is not a pretty Longer-Term picture. Brent Crude Oil has performed much better but it too has not reached the highs of 2008. Something to ponder!
This past rally form $25 to $40 was impressive enough to consider taking positions at the next Bullish Inflection Point.
Consensus Opinion - ( weighting - - 25% ): My third pillar of Research is one that is ALWAYS distorted to the Positive by most all financial analysts. I believe that is because they are afraid of being Bearish. I Am NOT! My articles on "Reality" are supportive of this - have a look.
I will personally and promptly reply to any serious investor's inquiry as to my very cautious position for (UCO) !
