not a mention of the market impact of the farmers' lock-out (or should that be lock-in) in argentina

The Only Thing Wrong with ETNs

"b.s. on agricultural commodity etns"
how fitting!

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

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?

PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF Forced to Buy Alternative Futures

forgot to mention in point b), rja got cocoa frost impact which is outside my grain radar

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)
