No doubt inverse etfs are a problem but may be a last option or only vehicle to some amateurs. Past data in inverse gold, oil, euro, yen, Brazil, Russia, treasuries seem to provide trading opportunities of weeks or months. Need trend though.
Ya bunch of noobs. Commodity stocks are the crown jewels in a rising interest environment. Buy precious metals and agricultural stocks.
I'm no expert with commodities, but to quote Jim Rogers...... "sugar is cheap". Just check the monthly chart. He said that around early 2010
That's because we've been in a deflationary environment since 2008, thanks to FED's quantitative easing. So what should happen if FED begins to raise interest rates that would in turn cause inflation? That's right, sugar price will go up.
