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.

A. Best of Breed and diversity is most
significant when dealing with the gold
or silver miners. . . staying away from
the juniors which are much higher
risk/reward considerations.

Very good review on Seeking Alpha
regarding 8 majors gold miners @

It would help to diversify into at least
3 so as not to disappoint. . . or go
with GDX ETF.
