DBA


The Powershares Agricultural Fund ("DBA") is an ETF that allows participation in the grains futures markets. It as been in a downtrend since the first quarter of 2008, following a multi-year bull market in grains. It now appears that the correction is over and a resumption of the uptrend may be upon us. If so, there are mega profits to be made in DBA and it's call options.




One way to look at DBA is another Triangle-friendly stock. With a recent BUY Triangle and the MACD oversold and about to turn up, this could be the presage to an extended rally.

I agree that commodities look like they're heading back up. Any reason you're going with DBA over something with a little more juice in it... say like DIG?

Why not both? DIG is energy, DBA is grains. Both are plays on weak dollar.

Allan - which months calls are you in? In the case of DBA, are you in Sep or Oct or ? calls? What is your typical strategy as to how far out do you purchase the calls?

Thanks,
Ron
