UGA, Lock in Low Gas Prices

Lock in Low Gas Prices

Excerpt:

Oil has declined nearly 66% from its peak closing price of $145.29 on July 3rd to its closing low of $49.62 on November 20th. With gas prices down significantly since then, drivers no longer dread filling up at the pumps like they did just a couple of months ago.

We recently came across a good article highlighting a simple way to lock in low gas prices. The US Gasoline Fund (UGA) is an ETF that tracks the price of gasoline futures in the US. If you want to go to the pump and not even care what gas prices are, you can buy the same dollar amount of UGA that you would normally spend on gas each year based on the current price of gas. If gas prices go up and you're paying more at the pump, your UGA will also be going up by a similar amount. If gas prices go down, your UGA will also go down, but you'll be paying less at the pump as well.

  1. Gas prices will continue to go down. Obama is making it better for us already! Most people don't realize how much money there is out there. During economic times like this, there is more money to be had than ever. Because of the bailouts and economy, lenders are bending over backwards to bail you out too. Believe it or not, there is people getting tons of cheap money nowdays to start businesses, buy homes, pay off debt, and more. Bailout is for YOU
