CAPS Rating:

Closed-end Fund

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Commodities will continue to outperform until the FED stops turning the dollar into worthless paper. Also, as other economies have expanded, more demand has been placed on the basic necessities. These two factors have been driving up commodities at a good clip.

Short commodities on soft landing. The 75 bps in fees are icing on the cake.

Recs 0 (DBC) credd2000 (< 20) Submitted: 10/29/08 5:40 PM : Start Price: $26.10 DBC Score: 4.66 My picks are all indexed fundsfrom the Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) catagories. Nobel Laureate in economics winners Myron Scholes and Merton Miller designed the models to outperform other funds in specific categories. All of my picks are from these funds.The only drawback to these low matenance funds ai the requirements to go through fee based financial advisors or have a portfolio of $10,000,000.00. The DBC is their commodity fund. As the market comes back these funds should be in demand. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Kudos to anyone fortunate enough to read this. As with investing in anything, understand your environment as well as your investment. I offer to you the following;
A simple 10 minutes to understand our world today & whats happening:

there, do things make a bit more sense?
Here's a voice from Feb 2008:

did you read it?
surprised? instead of liquidity being pumped into the system it was being CONTRACTED!
Assets can go up forever or down forever and if you dont know if the faucet is on or off, then you'll be BURNED in the process (no matter the fundamentals or the "soundness" of the investment). Common sense will be ignored until we stop the single faucet system & have competing backed-currency issuance & effective transparency over the nominal/credit expansion/contraction of our currency.
WOW, hard to imagine as that would tackle major world issues & restore prosperity to well deserved hard working citizens.
