      Runaway Inflation: Do TIPS Really Help?
      Inflation and interest rates rise together. Let's say they both go up 1%. The market value of your TIP will drop by its duration, ie., 6%. Another 1% increase in CPI and your investment drops another 6%. Am I wrong about this? That does not seem like protection to me.

      Greenspan Blasts Housing Bubble He Helped Create
      You can blast Greenspan because you don't need him; in fact, freelancers and blogs are the only place where you might find criticism of public figures. The white house press corps, Jay Leno, Maria Bartiromo - they all have to suck up and throw softballs in interviews because if they make their guests angry, they won't get another chance.

      Hog-Wild Grain Prices Put the Pinch on Livestock Farmers
      COW's futures are short term. It cannot take advantage of the expected shortage in livestock 12-18 months out. By the time COW buys those it will be too late.

      I don't know how one can take advantage of the current slaughter but I do not believe COW will do the job.

      Why Emerging Markets Can Be So Volatile
      How can you "conclude" that the emerging market float is 1/9th of the world float by examining VWO? It's like saying the beach is 500 yards long by examining a grain of sand.

      Why do you say the size of the emerging markets free-float can be "represented"... by VWO? Do some research, please!

      Unfortunately, There's an "I" in BRIC (and a "C")
      I appreciated the observation as well. My portfolio has baskets for commodities and emerging markets. I've had Brazil and Russia ETFs in the emerging markets basket; maybe I should move them into Commodities and rebalance from there. Maybe I won't, but the article has given me an idea.

      China’s Leaders Are Opening the Door for Profits
      Infation in China has been running at 8+%. You say take out food prices and inflation is less that 1% ??? You are recommending investing in a country where 7/8ths of the consumer purchases are for food??? Give us a break.
