Sure ---
BUT if you don't know how to evaluate the dozens of financial products you'll just be shooting from the hip. Thaty's called a gamble, not an investment.

Assuming that you're a young person, I'd advise you to visit with two or three different brokerages. They'll ask you questions to get an idea of how much you know; how much risk is right for your personal situation; and how an investment in a narrow energy sub-sector fits into your investment plan.

Going for a home run is great, if you connect. Otherwise mjy advice is to "get rich slow"

Build a plan and stay with in for years. That way even a small investment will grow very handsomly over time.

BEST BET in my opinion? A Roth IRA that lets you earn Tax-Free returns.

Good luck.

No idea.

OIL
USO

There are several location to obtain ETF information, I use Fidelity to purchase my ETFs but use Barclays and Bloomberg to research them. ETFs trade just like stocks, so you can compare them to other ETFs of the same sector, such as through the use of the P/E ratio. As for Oil itself, yes and no. There are ETFs that are centered around the energy sector as a whole, which is highly effective. Reason being is that while it has not completely diversified out the non-systematic risks out there, it is still isolated to a violatile sector that focuses on limited natural resources (so the more they run out the more they cost). You can also purchase ETFs that focus on Oil as the commodity. This I would think to be more risky. Oil hit a record high on Friday, and to be honest, I would think it only has a little more to go. We are entering into the winter season and historically natural gas has done well this time of year. So while the Oil may have room to grow, you are approaching a good season for other fossil fuels. So you may want to look into Energy ETFs and compare them to each other to find the cheapest (lowest P/E) but with the highest growth rate, since oil may be stalling out soon but natural gas my kick the ETF up a notch. Happy Hunting and take no prisoners!!

Here are 2 ETFs. I own DBC:
