Adding Wood to Your Portolio: A Worthwhile Investment

DEL is also not a diversification to stocks. Its correlation with SPY is 0.66. There is no correlation to commodities.
I used data from around 12.11.2007 (listing of CUT) until today.

@mkreisel: as far as I know, the capital in ETFs is secured. Otherwise one would see deviations between different ETF providers, since the ETF price would include the risk of bankruptcy. e.g. YYY never showed such a behavior, when there were rumours about their situation.

Better look for some other interesting asset classes, not timber.
