07/10/2009 14:00 | bob No I've not considered DBA, but it looks interesting, I'll have a look at it, Thanks for the tip. BL | bluelynx | |
07/10/2009 11:30 | bob: re DBA. I do believe it's due to it's better liquidity | walter walcarpets | |
07/10/2009 11:26 | BlueLynx, I'm sure you're right, and things will be more relaxed here! However did you consider the alternative to AIGA, the DB Powershares Agriculture (DBA)? I read some time ago it provided a better return than AIGA, but sorry, I can't remember why, or where I read it. | bobdouthwaite | |
07/10/2009 11:09 | I've just invested in AIGA it seems very cheap given the likelihood of inflation increasing greatly, it's hard to believe it's near it's all time low. I can see little downside but the potential upside is surely looking very good. I was invested in a NGAS but the contango effect was an issue with Natural Gas, I'm much more relaxed holding a spread of soft commodities via AIGA. | bluelynx | |

27/8/2009 17:25 | AGRI-FOOD THOUGHTS by Ned W. Schmidt, CFA, CEBS Schmidt Management Company August 24, 2009 Years have passed since investors seemed to pay attention to anything other than the latest short-term, but irrelevant, number of the day. Perhaps the ESPN approach being applied to business news is part of the reason for that. What might happen next week or next year seems of little concern. However, next week and next year have a habit of becoming today over time. Sometimes though, short-term events, being largely ignored, unveil longer term developments. One of those might be the drought currently ravaging India’s farmers. Summer monsoons provide more than half of the rainfall in much of India. Indian Agri-Food production is uniquely dependent on those annual rains. This year those rains have not come as expected. Rainfall is about a third less than normal. Agri-Food production will suffer in India as the summer rains are critical to India’s Agri-Food production. Rice production, a major staple, will fall by more than 10%. | traderabc | |

11/8/2009 14:34 | AGRI-FOOD THOUGHTS by Ned W. Schmidt, CFA, CEBS Schmidt Management Company August 10, 2009 Sometime people do learn from history, though the number that intentionally do so are few. Perhaps one of the largest groups of people that seem to lack the ability to learn from history is composed of economists. The facts that they choose to intentionally ignore are near mind boggling. Two asset bubbles, technology and housing, were claimed to be non existent, until they collapsed. Now, that same group of myopic number crunchers believes that economic growth in Western economies is about to reignite. Is some skepticism appropriate? | traderabc | |
10/8/2009 11:56 | Talk about a sugar high. World sugar futures blistered technical resistance levels to surge to new 28-year tops, as massive speculative buying and a constructive fundamental picture kept the bullish wheels turning. Nearby October sugar on ICE Futures U.S. rose 101 points to settle at 20.81 cents, near the session top of 20.85 cents. Sugar futures haven't been this high since April 1981. For the week to Friday, October sugar soared 220 points, or 11.8%, as traders realized how entrenched global crop problems had become. Lower production in India due to dry weather and lower output out of Brazil are ongoing supportive features, with strengthening global demand and short stockpiles highlighting the market's balance sheet. "We went through resistance like a hot knife through butter, and now bulls will be looking at 23 cents and 23.5 cents for new targets," said Jack Scoville, analyst and vice president at Price Futures Group. "There's still a lot of concern about India, and the monsoon doesn't seem to be getting any better. So people are pretty fired up about it," he said. An erratic monsoon season in India has left sugarcane fields much drier than normal for this time of year, and has caused analysts and crop experts to lower their output projections. Monsoon rains are expected to remain weak for the next four to five days, the official India Meteorological Department said Friday. There will be some revival in rains but most will be in eastern India, a government weather official said. India's 2009-10 cane crop is expected to fall to 16 million to 17 million metric tons, the nation's farm minister said, down from an earlier estimate of 20 million tons. This means the country will have to import more and more sugar to bridge the domestic shortfall. India is the second largest sugar producer and the world's largest consumer. Brazil, the largest producer globally, has problems of its own with a wet July setting the harvest back and possibly cutting into its 2009-10 cane crop. To illustrate how demand continues to strengthen, Mexico on Thursday announced it would import 393,0000 tons of sugar to help overcome short stocks after a disappointing 2008-09 harvest. The fact that Mexico is short of sugar means the U.S. may have a difficult time as it often sources from Mexico to meet demand. Analysts expect the U.S. government to increase sugar import quotas soon amid a tight stocks situation. The U.S. stocks-to-use ratio has fallen to a razor thin 3.4%, well below its preferred target of 15%. Imperial Sugar, the largest U.S. producer, has said the U.S. needs to import up to 816,400 metric tons by late spring to meet the shortfall. Aside from the fundamentals, the massive buying interest in sugar is also feeding the rally, as prices cruise through former resistance areas and trigger buy stops along the way. This attracts more preprogrammed technical buying. London white sugar futures also rallied to new highs, boosted by the gains on ICE and the bullish fundamental and technical setup. Traders are well aware of the market's extremely overbought status with the nine-day relative strength index at a hefty 91%, and a correction could come any day. As long as the news remains bullish, however, prices just may continue to trek higher, a broker said. Open interest on ICE sugar rose 12,309 to total 811,332 lots, ICE reported. Traders continued to take positions out of nearby September and add them to the March 2010 contract. Futures volume was estimated at 221,074 lots traded, with 65,995 calls and 29,272 put options traded. | walter walcarpets | |
10/8/2009 10:32 | Since when has food been 'rubbish'? Unlike many, many stocks, this has REAL inherent value. How can it not? This 'stock'represents food, something that is essential to life. Most stocks represent greed,fear or misplaced hope.In a few months/years time this will be twice or more todays price, nobody is going to stop eating when that happens, people will continue to pay for food come what may. Nice steady uptrend, strong support trendline, and good enough to eat. except for the cotton, which is worn ...obviously. | traderabc | |

28/7/2009 13:03 | AGRI-FOOD THOUGHTS by Ned W. Schmidt, CFA, CEBS Schmidt Management Company July 27, 2009 Some, and perhaps more than we imagine, economic sectors are immune to the failing economic policies of the Obama Regime. Those industries being driven by the dominant global trends should be somewhat resilient to the ongoing economic problems of the U.S. However, none will totally escape as the U.S. is such an important economic center of consumption. How do investors escape this reliance on U.S. economic activity level? The answer is, quite simply, Agri-Food. | traderabc | |
