Market Vectors Agribusiness (MOO)

MOO is pretty fully priced here, and the bloom will come off of it and many other commodity issues when the US $ has an unexpected resurgence soon, and a lot of stuff priced in US $$ begins falling.

Food play

there will be great demand in agribusiness- to supply food to the emerging nations worldwide/ emerging middle class world wide.

I did a screener for p/e under ten, 75=allstar outperforms, less than 5 all star under performs,200= overall outperforms, debt less than .3 , AND THEN RESEARCHED THE 19 COMPANIES FINACIALS ,AND ELIMINATED 12, THIS IS ONE THAT MADE THE CUT. if your curious to the other 7 see the picks entered around this one on my page

Hedge for inflation

the YTD performance...mootivated me LOL

LOVE the symbol! ;)

Inflation Inflation Inflation!

Food - definitely too big to fail!

Food/agriculture is next sector in my portfolio, but for me putting it into an ETF makes more sense at this point.

This ETF is up over 35% in the last 3 months and is a play on some of the top commodites of the year such as orange juice, sugar, coffee, etc. Inflation should pick up in the second half and a broad commodities fund may be a better place than equities for my money.

Issue related to the supply of food and water we face is tremendous. Food yields were high during the so called "green revolution" from the 1960's to the 1990's, but since then the yields have been dropping. Fertile land has been contaminated with heavy use of fertilizers, and salts have been introduced from fertilizer and water useage. We no longer produce enough to feed the 6.8 billion people in the world, and to feed the 9 billion people we expect by 2050, we better hope for another "green revolution".

Therefore I think agribusiness should have tremendous opportunity to help increase food yields by developing better fertilizers and seeds. Companies held in this ETF do exactly that. Companies like Syngenta, Potash Corp., ADM, Deer, Monsanto, Bunge, Mosaic, Komatsu, etc. will lead the next "green revolution".

We gotta eat...

AGRIBUSINESS ETF. This should do VERY well for the coming year or so.

great stock with a solid future

like fundementals

This is one of two commodity based ETFs that I like the financials of currently. With so many stocks down in the market one has to ask "What things do people absolutely need to survive?" and food & shelter top the short list. So construction & agriculture are likely to see growth even in down times. Long term this stock should outperform any index.

climate, economy, population all point towards food being critical.

Food shortages will be a mega-trend. Monsanto will be part of the solution.
