Is the Oil Index Set to Fall?

Since commodity ETFs hit big, there have been a lot of bad decisions made by investors more comfortable with stocks.

I'm glad these commodity ETFs are there, we don't need to be protected from them, they've been good to me. But don't try to do it just on charts - you really need to understand seasonality, supply and demand factors and a fairly exotic brand of headline risk.

Commodity ETFs may trade as stocks, but they're not stocks, and the investor will get spanked repeatedly until the lesson takes.
