I'm sure there is a futures market; that's what caused prices to skyrocket in 2008. Speculators drove the price of a barrel up.

You should be able to purchase oil on paper now, and then hopefully sell it at a higher price in the future.

There is a chance that oil prices remain this low longer term, when alternative energy sources begin to displace consumption.

I assume this forum will generally become less relevant as vehicles shift away from ICE and gain efficiency.
