Re: how do i actually buy oil
If you want to buy an oil futures contract you need a commodities account, which I do not think you have.
Otherwise with a brokerage account like yours you can buy:
Royalty trusts: BPT
Integrated oil company: XOM
Integrated oil ADR: PZE
mutual fund: VGENX
and others that service oil fields, make pipes to carry oil, operate piplines, tanker companies ...
You could also short oil sensative stocks like transports and airlines.
