The intent was to mirror the price but the way it was structured didn't do what was intended. The question is whether this is a mismanagement issue or the way the ETF was constructed.

Not only is contango just as much of a disadvantage as backwardation is an advantage, but USO and OIL seem to be doing a pretty good job of tracking spot so far this year (95% return correlation). UCR and DBO aren't doing as well, but if you're interested in more numbers, I've recently posted an entry about it. Hey Tom, I definitely agree with your appraisal of the education situation here.
