Answer 2

I haven't found a symbol in Yahoo that represents the quoted near-month oil futures price as widely reported either.

However, I use the symbol OIL (IPATH ETN CRUDE OIL) to get a rather close approximation of current oil prices; the value isn't the price of a barrel of oil (it's currently around 78), so I put 1.68 shares of this symbol in my portfolio to represent the price of a barrel.

Similarly you can use all the charts, just apply the correction value.

You can also use the USO oil fund, with a different correction factor.

Now, if I had just actually BOUGHT 'OIL' a few months ago...
