fwiw

i think one could see those trusts as convertible commodity bonds
ie
1/ they have nice yield as do bonds
2/ there yield is correlated to the futures in that commodity
3/ BUT they can also be seen a a stock ie
fixed cost = A
spot price commodity is B
lets assume for sake of argument that the fixed cost stays equal
then i can see the next senario
when spot price is little above A (we dont have much gain)we get the yield
if spot price moves up a bit we get the leveradge ie a co with real earnings which should propel the stockprice further

just look at fdg versus the coal spotprice its rissing much faster then the spotprice :-)

futures cant be taken over

furthermore we cant have market limit down in the stocks

only remember stock prices reaches their max a few years before commodities do

so given that the mean length of a bull in commodities is around 16 years and we started to rise in 2000-2001 which gives us 2016-2005 is 11 years minus 3 for peak give us another 8 years :-)

cheers
