Agricultural commodities are the forgotten commoditiy of the current bull market. Their time is coming. As far as I know not many people starved to death during the recent economic downturn which menas there is still an awful lot of people to feed. Right now they're getting food cheap.
Recs
more people in the world to feed, more former third worlds like India and China eating a more western and nutricious diet equals food commodity prices going UP in the next few years.
Also the more grains that go to make biofuel equals less food for humans and animals.
Peak Oil is here kids, so farming and transport costs will go up. Higher prices because of that too.
Then if there is a crazy drought or hurricane that can send prices suddenly up too.
Lot's of upsizes but not many downsides.
Recs
there will be increased agricultural demand in emerging countries such as china and india where land vs human capita is an issue.
Recs
EVERYONE in the world eats food, and there's only so much to go around.

Peak food is much more realistic than peak oil

Diminishing Top Soil! Water scarcity! Droughts from Canada to Timbuktu! A ridiculous Malthusian-nightmare of a human population to feed! Food Riots will be the least of our concerns!

Food is a limited resource facing increasing demand. Demand is partially offset by new farming tech, however, supply will always be victim to natural disaster. Buy and hold and wait for the next big drought, hurricane, fire, etc.

Ethanol mandates will continue to fuel demand for corn and sugar, and a rather troubling strain of stem rust is threatening global wheat supplies. I think the outlook for all four commodities tracked by this ETF is bullish right now.
Recs
There are over 6 billion people here on Earth. That is alot of demand for food. It is only going to grow as the population expands. Simple supply and demand.
Recs
more people will end up eating more food. I don't think the soft commodities boom is over yet

Even in the worse depression people must eat. Last expense they'll cut out.
