DBA

Post by ochotona » Thu Nov 09, 2017 3:44 pm

I bought a little slice of DBA, the agricultural goods ETF. I own futures contacts for lean hogs, live cattle, cocoa, sugar, coffee, wheat, and lots of US Treasuries. Oddly... no corn! DBA has been relentlessly beaten down for years.

I never went back to DBA after being stopped it. It has been in a downtrend since Feb 2008, more than 11 years. It has to stop someday. They aren't going to be giving away food for free. But when? Who knows.
