      The Only Thing Wrong with ETNs
      ami i glad somebody has actually picked up the possibility that sometime during the next generation ubs, barclays or lehman (even the swedish export credit bank) may fold, a "minor" detail among much b.s on the relative merits of the agricultural commodity etns

      Argentina to Default?
      Dr Malaka (aka Dr. Pangloss who Rx's kool aid)
      states that Argentina has no problems at all
      (Argentina is a noun, and Argentine the adjective and nationality. there is no thing/person Argentinean -unless you learnt English * language where dubya was taught grammar and dan quayle won a spelling bee)

      Thus, on pure logic:
      If
      The problem with Argentina ... is the Argentinians"
      And
      argentinians don't exist
      Therefore
      Argentina doesn't have a problem
      QED

      wish you were here, some field research would bring you back to ground with a dose of reality
      of life under the lithium lady

      * Or should that be "englishian"

      Taking iPath DJ Livestock Cow out of the Barn
      all three being etns, how does the relative chances of barclays (cow), lehman (lso), and ubs (ubc) surviving a generation and longer, affect their respective valuations?

      Amend Jingle Mail Laws
      am unaware of the actual legal technicalities, which seem to be on a state by state basis
      but an act closing the option for existing contracts
      seems dubya even more of a banana republican than one could ever have guessed

      PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF Forced to Buy Alternative Futures
      when my broker suggested i take a position in dba
      my rejoinder was:
      a) commodities firm, but on long term plateau, rather than up for a further escalation
      b) dba is too concentrated, personally would go for rja etn (more confidence in swedish export bank being there at the end, than barclays and now lehman)
      c) already holding a position in moo and agribusiness equities individualy (ok, he was unaware of the moo holding and some of the agri-corps)
      d) commodity boom prices associated with export duties, therefore fiscal performance, therefore the risk in argie govt bond holdings

      this said, although diversification will almost certainly increase tracking error, at the bottom line it ain't a bad thing for investors

      incidentally, lehman etn has 58% in soya (beans, meal and oil)
