You will notice a change like an increase of $3 to $5 in the pricing for a barrel. If you take a period of twenty days, you can see more fluctuations in the pricing. Going by the pattern of frequent fluctuations, you still cannot predict what the pricing of oil will be in the next one year or after 10 years.If you take a huge volume of data, which is spread over a long term like two or five decades, you will see that on a day to day basis oil prices do fluctuate. However, when compared in the big picture, oil prices have a wide range of pricing, and they fluctuate within that price band only. The United States has a price limit for oil, and they prevent it from rising too high.
If you want to invest in oil stocks for long term, you should think from all aspects. The oil price may hit an average high or low during this long term plan you have. You should be prepared for either scenario. Several people get discouraged when the oil price hits rock bottom, which is quite possible. After that, when the price starts increasing people, get tempted to sell the stocks. In fact, many people end up doing exactly this. This behavior can impede your long term plans.
Nonetheless, oil is a good investment as a long term one.
