OK we are in a Bear Market and not much of anything is working. In Stockpickr someone asked me how to play the coming increase in Coffee..well you can't buy PEETS..they just blew the qtr...but I can give you a couple of etf's with Coffee and some other sexy little ones in a really hard tape...they are JJA, RJA,JJG, GSG and mine that I have had for awhile DBA. These seem to be the best performing of the group...and hey with ETF's not much fundies and no playing a quarter.

Almost at a 52 week high..darn sexy. But I am a Junkie. The index currently tracks 24 different commodities. It is weighted with approximately 67% invested in energy, 16% in agriculture, 7% in industrial metals, 7% in livestock and 3% in precious metals. The index is production weighted to reflect the relative significance of those commodities to the world economy.
