Stock price when the opinion was issued
(A Top Pick Nov 30/15. Down 11.91%.) An example of the right idea but the wrong investment product.

Retail investors can’t buy commodity futures themselves. An ETF like this one can give retail investors access to the pure commodity space. He thinks commodities are poised to do well, and this is a way to ride the set of them. Investors will not get the leverage that they would get from buying the stock. If oil prices go up 10%, some oil companies will go up 20%. Investors will see the 10%, not the 20%. They also won’t get the risk.
