    Beware! the tax implications of the DB funds are severe and unexpected.

    I lost a lot of money on DBA and DGL due to this unexpected surprise.

    Looking forward to your clarification on this point in the next post.

    Thanks,
    SA.

    Just one note of caution: the future-based ETFs (all DB funds) are very tax unfriendly - at the end of the year you will receive a complicated K-1 form which may require you to pay taxes for someone else's gains (as I received for short trips to nowhere in 2007 with DBV, DGL and DBA) - beware!
