What ETFs will give oil investors the biggest benefit in 2011?

Well, if you're a "buy-and-hold" investor or even a daytrader who likes to trade ETFs instead of futures, you'll probably be better off putting your money into a oil equities ETF rather than betting on oil futures ETF. You certainly were much better off is you did that last year.

The investor who bought the largest oil equity ETF [XLE] last January gained nearly 20% by the end of 2010, while the U.S. oil futures ETF [USO] lost ground.
