>>>How are there political risks with crude futures?<<< The risk is that you get so excited thinking and talking about politics that you entirely forget what you are doing with your investments and lose all your money by doing stupid things. That's political risk. <G> I am heavily into DBA, which has only been in existence since the start of this year. It has done well, but with the big moves in wheat and soybeans, I cannot quite understand why it has not done even better (than being up about 20%). I cannot seem to find a simple chart of the index that it is tied to, the Optimum Yield Agriculture Total Return. Maybe that's because the index itself is only a little more than a year old, though it has been extrapolated back into the past in some tables. I was once extremely confident that silver was bound to make a big move, and I managed to lose a large part of my net worth (at the time) maintaining and meeting margin calls for just one silver contract. I do not care to follow Coxe into crude oil futures, no matter how promising the outlook. When you buy or sell futures, you are betting against the best-informed people in that area.
