Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA iShares Broad Commodity ETF CBR-T DON'T BUY Mar 11, 2013

All of these ETFs that have commodity futures in them have some issues. They try to mitigate them by not holding the front month and back month contracts. But they still have some contango. You can get up to a 6% drag from the rollover of futures contracts so unless you have robust growth in commodities, that drag will hurt performance. For the next 2-3 years he thinks we will not have such robust growth in commodities.

TOP PICK

Broad Commodity ETF. There are very few things where you can get real, true, broad commodity exposure to sugar, wheat, soybeans, etc. Really great way if you believe in the long-term growth thesis. This would be a long-term hold. Think of it as a core holding with 5%-10% of your portfolio.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 23/10. Up 12.32%.) Broad commodities ETF. This is the best way to play commodities in Canada. Costs a bit more than others but more diversified than any of the others and therefore safer.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 29/10, Down 0.75 %) Still the only fantastic commodity product in the Canadian Market place. This is a broad commodity ETF. About 24 commodities.

COMMENT

Broad Commodity ETF. He includes this in some of his more aggressive portfolios. Likes the product and the fact that it is global and commodity-based. Tends to be bullish on commodities right now.

Make fracking sand. Rough year. Chinese imported synthetic fracking sand but now realize it is a lower quality and are moving back. 16x earnings. Nat Gas will be favourable now that Obama won election.
