Now of course that is correct, but I would guess that 95% of people going into commodities futures for the first time have maybe something like $250,000 or less to commit; that they lose that $250,000; and that if that's all they have, it's all gone. A person who puts $250,000 into an average diversified mutual fund could lose half of it, but they still have at least half.

However, I think that anyone putting $250,000 into PCRDX might well enjoy a 15-20% real return, inflation adjusted, for the next ten years.

There is that remaining 5% who are smart or lucky or both and who will turn $250,000 into $2,500,000 by buying futures directly.
