Have to remember volatility is measured on a percentage basis. There have been times when crude has moved more on a $ perspective but that was a lower % perspective. As such margins are lower than they have been previously but as a % basis they are higher, which is the same as saying you get (significantly) less leverage trading crude today than you did a year ago

While the person writing the article has a different understanding to me as to how redemption's work, and how a market maker would arb the ETN vs Futures, it's still a very interesting article.
Sorry but his analysis is ignoring what happens seasonally. Every Jan there is a huge drop in employed people on the NSA number. It's 2.8 to 3.0 million every Jan the last 4 years.
