Since you first wrote that on March 2, here is what a sampling of commodity ETFs have done:
(The ETF trading symbol is in parenthesis.)

1. 21.75% - gold (UBG)
2. 26.56% - food (FUD)
3. 31.78% - energy (UBN)
4. 36.45% - general commodities (DPU)
5. 72.74% - industrial metals (UBM)
6. 76.62% - nickel (JJN)
7. 80.52% - double (leveraged) long general commodities (DYY)
8. 102.92% - copper (JJC)

Now that the Colonel is no longer with us, I may have to start using you as my investment contra-indicator. Your investment opinion is.....well......MONEY! (As long as I do the opposite of what you say to do.)
