DIG

DUG

// edit
Though really they aren't dividend payers as I believe the fund managers hork it. They may or may not buy new assets with it but I don't believe we get any.

Could almost use an etf section on the site. Not that it would get much use but these things are a pain to keep track of and find when you need em.

Thanks Sky. Remember the old video game DigDug? LOL

I'm trying to get ETF's added to this section, they have their purpose. Let's see what the boss says.

I bought 50 DIG today.....can't stand to keep watching this oil price rise without owning a "piece of the pie". Predictions are for $140 bbl soon. I think I'll sell it in the fall and then buy DUG.

Short term I'd wait for oil to break through 130 or fall down to 120 before going in, commodity traders kept it bouncing in a $10 range like that for quite a while before it broke up through 120. I'd expect a possible sideways range to form here for a bit.

DUG looks good to me for june/early july. On june 10th I think it is, the report of oil supplies comes out and so expectations could get reset then. Also, end of june all the mutual funds and so forth that bet the farm on oil report quarterly earnings and will probably have a good idea that they can't hide there forever. If it looks even a touch weak for funds and if they have anywhere else to go expect a massive selloff of oil to happen in july if it hasn't started in june.

Broke through 130 today and I'm up >$70 on my DIG. Thanks for showing me this one Sky!

Oddly, DIG is down right now. It has fluctuated WILDLY today, this EFT is just crazy but I'm really liking it.

Oil Rises Above $133 on U.S. Supply Drop, Bank Price Forecasts

By Mark Shenk

May 21 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil rose to a record above $133 a barrel as U.S. stockpiles unexpectedly dropped and banks raised price forecasts because of supply constraints and demand growth.

Supplies fell 5.32 million barrels to 320.4 million last week, the biggest drop in four months, the Energy Department said. Oil for December 2016 delivery rose more than $19 a barrel, or 16 percent, after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on May 16 raised its outlook to $141 a barrel for the second-half of the year.

``What we have here is a situation where essentially higher prices aren't generating any more supply,'' Paul Sankey, an analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities in New York said in an interview with Bloomberg radio. ``What we have to do is keep pricing the commodity higher until demand starts falling,'' which ``is around $150 a barrel.''

Crude oil for July delivery rose $4.23, or 3.3 percent, to $133.21 a barrel at the 2:30 p.m. close of floor trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after reaching $133.38. Prices have more than doubled from a year ago.

Gasoline and heating-oil futures in New York also climbed to records. Gasoline for June delivery rose 9.19 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $3.3963 a gallon, after touching $3.40. Heating oil for June delivery rose 13.45 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $3.9095 a gallon, after reaching an all-time high of $3.913.

Higher Pump Prices

Pump prices are following futures higher. Regular gasoline, averaged nationwide, rose 0.7 cent to a record $3.807 a gallon, AAA, the nation's largest motorist organization, said today on its Web site.

An inventory increase of 300,000 barrels was forecast, according to the median of responses by 15 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News before the report's release.

The supply decline left inventories 0.9 percent below the five-year average for the week, the Energy Department said. Stockpiles were 0.8 percent above normal a week earlier.

Imports fell 7 percent to 9.24 million barrels a day, the report showed. Imports have averaged 9.86 million barrels a day so far this year, down 0.9 percent from the same period last year, according to department figures.

``In this high-priced environment we are seeing refiners cut back on imports,'' said Antoine Halff, head of energy research at New York-based Newedge USA LLC. ``High prices and credit tightness are making it much harder to build supply.''

Brent crude oil for July settlement rose $4.88, or 3.8 percent, to $132.72 a barrel on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract touched $132.94 today, the highest since trading began in 1988.

`Well Supplied'

The crude-oil market is ``well supplied,'' Libya's top oil official Shokri Ghanem said today, rejecting calls for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to increase production to curb prices. OPEC, which pumps more than 40 percent of the world's oil, isn't planning to meet before its next scheduled conference in September to review production, he said.

``OPEC is playing with fire,'' said Rick Mueller, director of oil practice at Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Wakefield, Massachusetts. ``While they may be right from a fundamental standpoint about crude supplies, at this time it will take more than words from them to bring prices down. We will need to see more gestures like the Saudis made, to lower prices.''

Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi told reporters on May 16 that the kingdom is planning a 300,000 barrel-a-day output increase, to bring June production to 9.45 million barrels a day.

``Once prices hit $150 or $200 like our friends at Goldman are saying, we are looking at $5 or $6 gasoline, which will really hurt demand and cause a recession,'' Mueller said.

Goldman Forecasts

Goldman analyst Arjun N. Murti said in a May 16 report that ``the possibility of $150-$200 per barrel seems increasingly likely over the next six-24 months.'' Murti first wrote of a ``super spike'' in March 2005, predicting crude may trade between $50 and $105 a barrel through 2009.

U.S. oil-company executives told Congress oil prices should be between $35 and $90 a barrel. Representatives of the five largest publicly traded oil companies appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify on record energy prices. Appearing today were representatives of BP Plc, ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

The price of oil should be ``somewhere between $35 and $65 a barrel,'' John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., the Houston-based subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, said at the hearing today. Other executives said prices should be as much as $90 a barrel.

Strategic Reserve

Congress last week approved legislation to halt deliveries to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to respond to record prices.

Airlines have been hit by higher jet fuel costs. The price of the fuel, the largest expense at many airlines, has climbed 84 percent in the past year and traded at a record $3.9684 a gallon in New York Harbor today.

AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, the world's largest carrier, will world's largest carrier, said it will cut ``thousands'' of jobs as it responds to high fuel prices and slowing demand.
