    You are a few years too late (or too early) with this article. Over the next year or two ag commodities, barring a major weather problem, will fall in price, as will land values. Better farming practices and technological advances through seed technology should boost yields and bring down prices, especially for the grains. That, combined with a slowdown in the world economy from high interest rates, tightening credit and recent inflationary forces will take their toll. Reply

    There is no doubt that the day may come where the choice will be dance or eat. At that point in time there is little doubt that the cherished I-pods of today will find their way to pawnshop shelves, in a great transfer of wealth to Ham Sandwich's.

    One law that will never be repealed is that of supply and demand. And on a planet with the increasing population of ours the demand for food can only increase proportionately.

    Great article ! Was just reading Jim Rogers yesterday & was happy to see all of this info today. Also happen to enjoy anything interesting about the old West, so that bit of family history was enjoyed. Reply

    Some older established comapnies to look at (all overseas) includ Cresud (CRESY) for Argentina farmsland, and MP Evans Group and Camellia Group (both traded in London). Still hard for small US invesotrs to find a good way to get into farmland as an investment. Reply

    Managing Duration for Commodity Funds: Which Strategy Is Best? [view article]
    Very short of any information of real use.

    If someone invests in ETF's without knowing about the funds management style, then they have not done due diligence and deserve the consequences.

    Haha! Thanks for the advertisement, Stockaccumulator. According to my short term trading models, I would be short SOL as of June 13th, and would be up 30%+ (though it's not one of my top 20 positions, and I didn't trade it).

    Keep the pump and dump kind of vibes on someone else's posts perhaps.

    Zacks published this (see below article) 7 trading days ago about Renesola (SOL), when the price was bouncing around at about $20.

    Zacks Rank in Industry 1 of 44... the best of all solars. Thats number one...

    See Zacks' site. This in addition to Investors Business Daily June ranking of SOL as the 4th best company (not just solars but the whole world, every company) to invest in... and in addition to Piper Jaffray's amazing careful on site research on SOL. Piper Jaffray article in June practically audited SOL, and its clean balance sheet, and they love it.

    Last week's drop was clearly a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater to raise cash to feel good before the July 4th weekend... No news on SOL, just bullish: New rediculous cost of oil, and local and national governments worldwide jumping on the Solar bandwagon...

    Note that SOL actually sells to other solars, and has a unique method of production and supply, recycling for creation of its product... a unique process and company.

    I trust all three combined, Zacks, IBD, and Piper Jaffray.

    Read this quote from Zacks last week:

    "Through its history, ReneSola regularly adapted to changing market dynamics. The company is aggressively ramping up its polysilicon and solar wafer production capacities. Going forward, increased captive generation of polysilicon will improve its cost structure and enable wafer capacity expansions. Globally, rising solar wafer sales, along with escalating crude and long-term supply agreements, should collectively generate significant earnings growth. Buoyed by these positive factors and
    impressive results, SOL increased its 2008 production
    output and sales guidance. Accordingly, with a
    bullish outlook and an attractive relative valuation, we initiate coverage of SOL with a BUY recommendation and a six-month target price of $24.25, representing 27.2% upside potential."

    Note: today, at $13 SOL upside would be perhaps 40% ... Zacks published this above article 7 trading days ago when SOL price was much higher... other analysts have targets of $40, some at $55...

    Time to run to your laptop and buy SOL fast...

    Jgib, I agree - I talk about my criteria for holdings like EWZ on the blog. I use biocapacity and carbon metrics for macro holdings (like currency and index), but there is some soul swallowing that happens. It's inevitable in green investing. Even green holdings have questionable things. I definitely understand the underlying hypocrisy, but I do use a series of actual scientific studies to come up with the allocations. In my opinion, the overall idea is to promote green and not sacrifice returns, and a holding like EWZ fits that model. Reply

    I was surprised with your entry of EWZ in a green discussion. Biggest holding is Petrobras - a socialist company producing oil, and driller offshore - how green is that - offshore RIO. I think they have beaches. Reply

    as the market continues to go down, agriculture, which used to be a safe haven, now looks like it may be subject to a downward trend. Here's a pretty good podcast that discusses what to during this down market and what's going on with coal, steel, bulk shipping, and agriculture.

    the main idea is that individual investors dont have to act like institutional investors and this market and may be better holding cash than trying to beat the market.
