As a rejoinder to above comments, just checked USO moving averages. The 20d and 50d are falling and not yet crossing up to trigger a positive technical signal.
Noticed Alan says agree in principle to buy USO but premature now.
I have actually made a loss trading USO months ago buying at relatively high levels [oh in mind at the time was "peak oil" and usd 200 forecast by Goldman]but got stopped out after some 20% loss on the position. Since then I have been following behaviour of USO with interest but haven't made any trades. At some point there are bound to good trading opportunities because oil is a finite resource and it can't keep dropping. The bull/bear cycle will return but traders' timing is the issue.
