Nice find, Mike, thanks for putting it up.Originally posted by Mega View Post

Re: Jim Rogers, Marc Faban, Zatpo George....
The Upshot isthat its Gold as a sure bet, followed by Silver, N/Gas look good as does food.
You know, i only be into this subject for 8 months but i have started to get a feel for it. I am not the brightest boy in the class but 7 weeks ago i was working on my lathe making door handle parts when i sussed:-
UK oil production now falling off, we tapped out the North Sea
Ł is a reflexion of that
Thus among other things UK will NOT earn Oil $ they will have to spend Oil $!
Thus Ł likely to fall BIG time V other currences
Thus i moved a large chuck of cash into Euro's (as a start).
Zapato Geroge looked at the same thing and came to the same conclusion...the Ł will Crash & Burn!

Re: Jim Rogers RICI
I didn't know about these commodity ETN's based on Jimmy Rogers' RICI until dbarberic mentioned RJA in the post above.
Profile Issuer: SEK (Aa1/AA+) Primary Exchange: AMEX Ticker: RJA Intraday Indicative Value Ticker: RJAIV Bloomberg Index Ticker: RICIAGTR CUSIP: 870297603 Inception Date: October 17, 2007 Maturity Date: October 24, 2022 Initial Index Level: 1236.05 Denomination: $10.00 Short Sales* : Yes on an up or down tick Yearly Fee : 0.75%
The above is copied from http://www.elementsetn.com/ProductsPage.aspx which also provides information on RJI, RJN, and RJZ
Can anyone direct me toward using the Bloomberg Index Ticker so that I can put in "RICIAGTR" and perhaps then see the index?
The Elements link above provides a handy description of the constituents of the various ETN's.
I listened to Rogers again on the radio interview noted in the initial post of this thread. He noted twice he was buying agricultural commodities.
Looking at charts on DJP, GSG, DBC all sort of look as if they may be putting in double or triple tops. DBA, of which I just bought 300 shares, might be forming a head after forming a left shoulder in early December--this would seem appropriate as I just opened a position. All of the Rogers ETN's have data this are too short-term to see much from charting.Jim 69 y/o

Re: Jim Rogers, Marc Faban, Zatpo George....
So, you want to support Swedish state-subsidized exports?
Read the prospectus, besides issuer (SEK) solvency risk, you have unspecified counterparty risk.
Would be interesting to hear an expert opinion on these unsecured notes as "investment vehicles", and as a swedish subject I am fascinated that SEK has gotten into these.

Re: Jim Rogers, Marc Faban, Zatpo George....
Originally posted by dbarberic View PostI have been looking at these for a while as well. Prior to the introduction of these ETN's, the only way I could find to invest in the Rogers commodity index would be through a TRAKRS, which would involve opening a futures trading account through eTrade or similar. It all seemed a little complex and awkward for my taste, plus the various fees struck me as being on the high side. The ETN's appear more promising, but considering the volatile state of the international banking system these days, I have some concerns about getting dunked should something happen to SEK et al.Originally posted by cobben View PostComment
