Default Re: how do i actually buy oil

come on guys...lets think a little before bashing someone.

The question he is asking is how to buy oil in a stock sense...just like saying "How do I buy Microsoft" you tell them to buy shares of MSFT. Oil works the same way but I believe the only way you can directly buy oil is in the futures market...where you are basically buying options on contracts of oil.

If you are looking for a way to buy using a general online broker you might want to just pick a company that you expect to profit more as oil rises and either buy shares or calls on that company.

Someone a little more knowledgeable will be able to give you specifics...I just thought I would get this thread on the right track

Thanks,
Kevin
