I just bought 100 shares of USO in my portfolio.
"Buy high" is usually not in my nature. But in this case, I figure it's a win-win: if oil keeps rising, I cushion the downside on the rest of my portfolio. If my investment succeeds in causing the bubble to pop, the rest of my portfolio's recovery will likely dwarf my losses in USO.
I figure that me finally buying in is a good way to put a stop to the upward momentum.
So if the bubble pops soon, you may raise a toast to me as a hero. I think this is the first time I've ever WANTED to lose money in an investment position.
