Concerning any so called energy contract trading funds gas, oil, home heating oil, gasoline, etc... these brokers trading practices which place themselves between the resource fields and companies processing it, and again between those companies processing them and the consumer.
Now that many Funds are becoming a bad taste to investors and share holders, more faith is going back to technology and companies with actual assets to back the shares.
Example: Many of these kinds of traded energy contract hedge funds are like real estate contracts flip to add inflated commission profits passed to the buyers to pay the price.
Globally the heat of such broker contract flipping is now seen as a quick money maker, but in turn does more damage down stream to the other global markets.
Now with the RE sector under FBI investigations, makes many people, investors, companies effected by such broker trade flipping, seeing that they to are also to be investigated now, or have been being watch for some time now.
ALL energy markets will fall quite a bit once these practices get brought to light. And as more investments that get pulled from energy back into other actual market shares backed with actual physical/real value corporate assets. Not flipped paper contracts like the real estate market, just look at the real estate market now and all the damage it did down stream to effected markets.
Start looking for actual companies on the rebound up, then as the other markets are now coming up, the dollar gets stronger. Once the other markets take back control and the dollar grows stronger the oil will drop and other energies will inturn lose a bit of investors desire for them.
1.) forget oil and gas as it is to fall quite a bit.
2.) invest in strong companies on the rebound.
3.) after all energies level out, go for the technology energy investments as they become the next pre-mass produced alternate energy.
