whoa, I thought silver was volatile.

WOW great day for the sweeties

No idea,

I bought because Faber said he liked it and the chart looked good, no other reason.

[jackpipe] 17/1/2008 13:45

LOL.
Looks like my timing wasn't too bad after all, up a dollar. It looks like news kicked this off, but I'm not really following closely yet; anyone know what? Perhaps indian agriculture minister's call that production will be down 8% this season?

[a.fewbob] 16/1/2008 21:36

You could buy dog poo based on that! LOL

bought the SUGA ETF yesterday. Maybe a bit early/late, but plan to hold until may at least, we'll see. I'm sure it'll do better than £ or $ anyway.

I read somewhere that sugar is set to climb from the rise of ethanol use.

You here too hectorp!!!!!!!!
Nice to see you buddy, softs are doing well now. Just shifted a ton of cash into CORN, but SUGA looking good too.

sugar ( eg March contract) shart holding the fort, ready for next rise? Looks like so.
Need more news on sugar for direction.. has already been a good rally..

The pound dropping is helping us sterling investors in commodities. Forecasts of around 10% drop against the dollar next year which helps us commodities investors.

London sugar trading at 316. Creeping up on a daily basis, anyone got a target?

[a.fewbob] 20/12/2007 18:17

Who's the sugar daddy!

Tried to get in this morning but problems with my online account. Eventually got i later at 14.93 (£7.42). This looks like a major breakout.

[abundance99] 12/12/2007 21:40

Is that a breakout?

Hi MPG,

Good luck - am sure I'll soon be joining you although I might go for AIGS and get some exposure to Coffee and Corn too.
Not sure if you're a premium account holder here, but it would be useful to have an up to date sugar thread with some charts for the ETF and the up to date sugar futures?

Hi Jock,
I purchased the ETF today (on my ISA account) with an expectation of exiting in the autumn and in the hope that there is some seasonality to the price, together with an underlying long term up trend. Yes the currency risk is a worry but I see more upside in SUGA than USD downside.... fingers crossed.

I have spreadbet in the past but find it too much of a worry due to volatility on a what is a margin trade. I think spreadbets are more suited to short term positions and they need constant and close monitoring - but each to his own.

Stay lucky.

Hi MPG,

Thanks for pointing that out!
Are you considering buying the ETF, or Spread betting, or buying futures?
Am interested in your thoughts.
My own view is that Sugar will rise, this or next year so I am trying to take a long term approach.
Do you think the currency risk of buying the ETF (SUGA) in $$ is a worry?

Jock,
You might not get an answer.... note that the last posts were a year ago!
There doesn't appear to be much interest on here in this ETF but I am considering buying SUGA right now.

Sahara,

What markets do you SB on for coffee and sugar. Am just about to take a position so would be interested to know your experiences.

Have you looked at the ETF Securities ETC's? AIGS is Corn Coffee and Sugar.
I'm not sure how to gain exposure to this without physicaly buying the stuff, but feel, despite short term pressure, this will move upwards in months to come.

Short it more, cant see it going higher.

[thomas11] 29/4/2006 17:35

Hi Sahara,

Im in the same boat, I found the Barclays Six-year Agricultural Commodities Plan.

This has just closed and you need to lock your money for 6 years !! not what Im after though.

if its successful I'm sure Barclays will launch another plan

[sahara] 21/4/2006 11:04

Apart from my spread bets on sugar and Coffee, I am finding it difficult to find any funds or companies in which to impart some of my burgeoning wealth from metals.

Any Ideas?
