This Oil site was sent to me last week and I found it interesting because it shows how the various Oil ETFs have performed in the huge bull market in 2007 to mid-2008, the sharp decline from June – December 2008 as well as the recovery period since early 2009. I like it when people create sites that actually show how different investments perform in relation to each other instead of just giving the basic facts (price, volume, fees etc) because relative performance is all that matters.

The first page of the site concentrates on several unleveraged Oil ETF instruments and shows comparisons between them. The thing I noticed most is that the 12 month averaged etfs have been outperforming USO even though they are much less popular.

As you look through the other pages you will see that Oil Stock ETF – XLE along with OIH have outperform nearly all other Oil ETFs for the longterm investor. It’s definitely something to look at before you purchase one of them.
