    Those commodity ETFs look like losers to me after an eight year bull. Ill pass. Reply

    You didn't mention any of the Elements - Rodgers ETNs like RJI, which I think has the most extensive list of various commodities under one fund. 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.

    This must be gosh of me, but given all the tables do you have a clue on where things might be headed? Like the leaders are in a fade and the new leaders are still aborning. Hope this is not taken a criticism, but it is kinda. Reply

    Very difficult to read your insert - when I clicked on it, it was the same size as in the article. I gave up. Reply

    bearfund, there's a big difference between a currency etf and the currency itself. i doubt rogers would advocate the etf when you can just hold the currency instead. i do it at citi in shanghai, time deposit. you get interest, not fees. Reply

    Is Oil a Bubble? Part One [view article]
    Y'all are all a little bit right and a little bit wrong (and probably me, too). Folks pointing out we have two time lines, short and long, are on the right track. But that's not what I want y'all to know.

    Go find a copy of "The Doomsday Myth" and read it. Basically, the fear stems from projecting usage trends straight-line without regard for folks substituting the expensive and scarce resource with a cheaper one.

    Oil will remain a viable commodity for applications where it's unique properties (or location) make it profitable to use it.

    People vote with money. If the free market is allowed to work, some enterprising young fella will "strike gold" so to speak and solve the problem. No better place on earth to do that than the good old U.S. of A.

    The transition, now that's the thing. Long-term inflationary plays and alternative energy speculation.

    Aside from investing, you gotta actually survive the transition. Can you commute to work with gas at $10/gallon? Pay the $500/mo electric bill? Eat $1,000/mo groceries? These may be years away, but do you have enough slack to outlast the transition?

    Just maybe we fast-forward to the past, reaching back to times long ago where we had local farmers and smaller towns, fresh food markets. And a lot less weekend driving.

    Wouldn't that be nice?

    My guess? Short-term pricing bubble in the middle of a long-term transition trend.

    "It is especially dumb to invest in PBR." Oh really?

    $10,000. invested in PBR 5 years ago would now be worth $184,555.

    Doesn't seem like such a dumb investment to me.
