I Never Buy Commodities but Oil just hit $55 [View all]

I might have to start because that price won't last. Steps will be (and are being) taken to boost it back above $60. Aside from how long it will take to go to $62+ I don't see any risk at all.

I can't trade options. What is the best way to buy ? USO? Another ETF?
