<prompt> Human: Basically I am wondering what peoples thoughts are about investing in oil commodities now when the price is so low. It will eventually go back up to where it was or close to it.If a person was to invest 10k into oil and it went back up to say 100 from 60 a barrel would kind of money would a person be looking at?Sorry for the stupid questions, I know nothing of investing money but if I could turn a quick buck I would like to.  <response>: Nobody can accurately predict the future. It is never a good idea to un-diversify and make bets on commodity prices. That is gambling, not investing.If you are interested in investing your money properly, please read the information found in the FAQ particularly I Have X ... What Do I Do With It?! and the Long-Term Investing Start-Up Kit You may find Your 401k and You: Basic Information and Your IRA and You: Basic Information worth a read as well.
