With oil prices dropping the way they have been lately, this may not bode well for the I fund since some of the holdings are big oil such as BP, Total and Royal Dutch.

Exactly, and having a cooling effect on the US markets today. With the inventories data coming out tomorrow I took a chance it would turn around if inventories are up and stimulate the US markets. 50% "C" 50% "S" but it could keep dampening the action????:o
$54.54 a barrel at 09:50 -1.55 trending to the upside!

They think thay are buying low!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Temperatures and inventories are high, while economic growth and global tensions, relatively speaking, are low. But although oil prices have fallen in the last few days, they still remain historically high at over $50 a barrel. Why haven't crude prices fallen further?

The EIA reported inventories of crude oil dropped by 5 million barrels to 314.7 million barrels in the week ending Jan. 5 -- the fourth straight week of decline. Analysts had expected a modest rise of 820,000 barrels. But U.S. crude oil inventories remain above the upper end of the average range for this time of year, the EIA said.
