I finally sold the last of my Horizon’s Beta-Pro Oil hedge - HOD as traded on the TSX.Bought on April 25th for $10.75 then in big on June 6th for $7.55.  Profits taken between October 10th and 27th.The immediate future for black gold is unclear but as the long-term direction seems pretty clear to me, I have moved the money into oil/energy companies which are currently selling at nice valuations.  I recognize that I will need to hold these for quite some time but there are some nice dividends to keep me happy.  Now I pray for an oil spike ;)As an aside, despite the news headlines the rapid rise in oil prices earlier this year clearly was NOT based on supply & demand  fundamentals rather it was most certainly leveraged speculation.The world just doesn’t change like that! Good Luck
