Two Moves to Make as the Fed Inflates the Commodities Bubble

Fitzman, I thought I asked this question on this post before but maybe on another one of your post BUT, why not just buy USO which has done better that any of oil related companies on your "buy" list? For precious metals it seem as GLD and the Silver ETF would avoid political upheavals and mine disasters that occur with Gold and Silver stocks so why not a straight precious metals play instead of mutual funds with a lot of vulnerable mining stocks?

Fitz, I don't see USO or OIL amongst your recommendations ? I just ran a 1 year comparison with all of your recommendations against USO and only STO and APC were even close and they only gained 50% as much as USO. Not trying to be obstinate here just looking for something I am not seeing.
