    I thought I'd add SXY (yellow) and DLS (red) to the 1 year chart of the S&P 500 (black) and the 5 largest energy US ETFs.

    It is clear how much more volatile SXY and DLS are in comparison to those energy ETFs and that's what attracts me as they should give excellent leverage to an oil price rise.

    The funny thing also is that in a market crash I'd rather be holding SXY or DLS over any of those 5 ETFs. I just don't trust ETFs. At least with SXY and DLS you are left holding share ownerships in real energy assets, even if their share prices might look temporarily very sick. If you get caught in a liquidity vortex in an ETF fund that is packed up (shutdown) after a sever market meltdown you could in theory be left with nothing, depending on the severity of the crash. With stocks you still own part of the company even if the exchange on which they trade shuts its doors for a while. They represent real assets. Eshmun
