Investors interested in foreign exposure to crude should consider China Petroleum and Chemical (NYSE: SNP).

Imagine the demand for crude for a nation whose economy is growing like a weed. The economies of the world may be receding, but China is still growing. More importantly, its government is investing heavily in making sure that growth continues.

Given that fossil fuel is so critical to any industrial society, owning China Petroleum makes a ton of sense. The stock is up almost 50% since bottoming in March, but there are more gains to be had.

With oil prices heading to $70 or more, owning oil stocks is a must for any investor looking to generate maximum returns.

Crude traders are betting that a stronger economy will result in increased demand for oil. At the same time, OPEC is holding firm on production cuts that reduces supply.

And let's not forget about the summer driving season which officially kicks off this Memorial Day weekend.

All of these factors mean investors can confidently operate under the assumption that oil prices will go up in the foreseeable future.
