Oil Stocks

Investors have many options for getting involved with oil (also known as the petroleum sector). These methods come with varying degrees of risk and range from direct investment in oil as a commodity, to indirect exposure in oil through the ownership of energy-related equities. Each of these investment types can be acquired through an online brokerage account.

An example of owning oil stocks is through the purchase of oil futures or oil futures options. Futures are highly volatile and involve a high degree of risk. Additionally, investing in futures may require the investor to do a lot of homework as well as invest a large amount of capital.

On our Oils page, Stockhouse provides readers with detailed information and coverage on publicly-traded stocks, petroleum sector updates, news and information, private and public funding, trending stories, and much more.
