Whether you are looking to add a single commodity to your portfolio, or you’re wanting to cast a wider net over the entire industrial metals space, the continually expanding ETF industry lets you do it with ease. With one or more of these 11 exchange-traded funds you can fine-tune your exposure to industrial commodities such as aluminum, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tin, lead and steel. Each ETF offers unique allocations to the different metals, as well as varying structures, leveraging, costs (expense ratios) and directional bias [see Free Member Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. Below is a table highlighting each of these products, comparing the structure, expense ratio and industrial metal allocations (data as of March 3, 2013). It is important to note that the underlying index of the United States Metals Index Fund (USMI) is dynamic; therefore, the weightings of the 10 commodities held may change each month based [...]

The Ultimate Guide To Resource-Specific “Third Generation” Commodity ETPs

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 09:00:35 -0400

For retail investors, ETFs have leveled the playing field and opened all sorts of alternative asset classes and strategies to the mainstream. One asset class that has surged in popularity has been commodity and natural resource investing. As such, the number of ETFs in this area has exploded and now represents one of the largest fund categories around. Currently, there are over 110 different funds that track futures and hard asset prices [see Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. However, early products in the space, like the United States Natural Gas , suffer from a potentially big problem in the concept of contango. Contango can lead to underperformance and even losses in an ETF. By definition, contango occurs when near month future contracts are cheaper than those expiring further into the future. ETFs based only on current prices–meaning they own the future contract for the current month–lose money [...]

Lead is a heavy metal that has been used for thousands of years in a wide variety of applications, including building and construction. Lead deposits are abundant in many regions around the world, and the metal is relatively easy to extract from the ground. Because it is widely used in construction and other industrial applications, lead has some appeal to investors looking to bet on increased demand for raw materials. There are a number of different options for investing in lead, including exchange-traded futures contracts, stocks of companies engaged in the extraction and sale of the metal, and exchange-traded products [for more lead news and analysis subscribe to our free newsletter].

Marc Faber: Why Industrial Commodities Will Continue to Fail

Sun, 09 Sep 2012 09:00:26 -0400

Marc Faber, who shares the moniker “Dr. Doom” with Nouriel Roubini, has made a name for himself not only from his intelligence, but also from his outspoken and often controversial views. Faber has recently predicted a 100% chance of a U.S. economic recession and says that he is simply waiting for things to fail. To put things lightly, he is something of a bear, as he often points out the faults of the economy or singles out failing sectors. It seems as though he has done it again, but this time with industrial commodities, namely industrial metals [for more industrial metals news and analysis subscribe to our free newsletter].

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:01:42 -0400

Investors might be recovering from a case of whiplash today, as a tumultuous day of Federal Reserve headlines and an unexpected technical glitch sent stocks lower. After much anticipation, the Fed finally signaled more strongly that it will take new measures to prop up the fragile domestic economy, but to investors disappointment, no further details were given. The news was overshadowed however by a technical glitch that resulted in a halt in trading, with 148 securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange being affected. And as traders panicked over the glitch, stocks slid lower: the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.25%, while the S&P 500 declined 0.29% and Nasdaq dropped 0.66% [see also Seven Simple & Cheap ETF Model Portfolio].
