    Ideologues resist empirical evidence. And they lose.

    The economy is not going to slide into any abyss just because your latest inflationary brainstorm bubble pops. You will just lose your shirt chasing it. You will still work, and everything will still be owned by someone. Bubbles are poker games, money moves around, but they create nothing.

    Meanwhile the restriction in credit has already cut the US trade deficit in half; China has ended fuel subsidies and reduced its import needs; wide spreads are already rebuilding financial balance sheets; wages aren't moving at all, so no great inflation is in prospect; and instead, productivity is running 4% per year.

    The system is self healing. Massive tax increases might knock it into another inning of poor performance if we are that stupid. But then, we aren;t.     Reply

    I think its unfair to list NETS etfs in this list even though they have very few assets.NETS launched a whole bunch of these country specific etfs like DAX for Germany recently. So it may take some time before they grow. What do other readers think? Reply

    also etns may be easier to create by issuer than etfs
    if a demand appears
    the issue is whether ubs feels it pays to have resources devoted to a 5 mln indexed certificate of deposit (uag)

    plus timing, nets may take some time to take off     Reply

    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    One law that will never be repealed is that of supply and demand.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.     Reply

    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

    Agriculture: Are There Still Bulls in the Supermarket? [view article]
    I don't see the logic in saying..."So the forecast for the next six months is for a pullback in agricultural markets"...Why 6 months? ..is there a previous pattern that suggests 6 months?...Are you saying or implying something about harvest time? Supplies are low, int'l populations are growing and still richer so as to afford food..Co's in emerging countries are giving workers raises...co's overseas can afford to raise wages...THAT BUYS LOTS OF FOOD. What is your general MATH? Reply
