You’re better off trading DBO or USL because of the contango in the oil market. USO does the worst thing in contango – gets you less and less oil each month!!

Hey Blain,

Thank for telling me about the link. I am the worlds worst typist.

I am watching how ags act here. I am a fan of Jim Rogers and he has strong arguments for them despite the recent sell off. They are on my radar, but I am not a buyer just yet – I have worked up a partial trading plan though that I’ll post tonight or tomorrow showing different entries.

As far as DBA vs DBC vs MOO:

DBA is a cleaner agriculture play consisting of wheat,corn,soybeans & sugar.

DBC is less an ag play and more of a commodity play mixing crude, heating oil, corn,gold, aluminum & wheat.

MOO is an ag services play with holdings in Potash, Syngenta, Mosaic, John Deere..well you get the point.

Last point with Zanger. I am a huge fan as well, but I just want to urge caution to following some of the very aggressive day trades put out in his chat room. This is a tough market and it takes more than it gives.

Zanger said in last nights letter that he is in gold and cash – that should tell everyone something.

Trade smart.

TSSS

Zanger is fantastic, I recommend his service as well.

Thanks for the tips Blain. I took positions in GLD and USO last Wednesday and have enjoyed a 5% and 12% gain in each

I learned of Dan Zanger from one of your previous blogs and was highly suspicious at first. Why would a guy that makes untold fortunes in the market charge for a monthly service? I took his trial period thinking it was going to be a bunch of fluff and sales tactics but was supremely surprised by what I found. I’m now a paying subscriber and haven’t looked back since.

+1 for Dan Zanger! (take his free trial!)

PS you might want to update your blog url address, the “@” sign should be a “.” because right now your homepage address is a dead link!

Never considered DBA or MOO as they haven’t had the same pop that has come about with gold and oil, you think agriculture is next to feel the jump?

In my mind this is the best/only way to play this market. I went long GLD and SLV today with an explanation of the trade on my blog.

I am looking into the DBA and DBC as well and maybe some MOO. With the weird behavior in oil today, I’m looking to let crude sort itself out and I’ll figure out my play down the road.

Another timely post for an increasingly tough market.

Good luck and good trading.
