5 year outperform. Supply will continue to decline, as demand continues to increase.

If you're going to go the REIT ETF route, Vanguard has the cheapest fees. Thumb rule: if Vanguard has an ETF in your preferred sector, go with it.

I like and own ETF's. VTI VNQ VEU BND and others.

This one is a way to own metals and fertilizers along with chemicals. As with my other ETF's I can own twenty or more of the top companys in this sector with out having to buy tweny different stocks and paying a small fortune in commisions and fees.

As the World economy recovers and begins to grow again look for a nice profit with this one over the next five years.

You still need stuff to make stuff for the booming global population.

It is a bet on emerging markets and safer play than some ultra speculative stocks.
