I did really great in it - back in late spring early summer months. Then I sold it. There has been a glut in consumer products such as this. But I'm getting back in because all the warehouses everywhere are emptying their surpluses. There is nothing coming in to restock. And we mean nothing. That's when this little jewel will make a move. So, let's hope my research pays off.
Donna, I looked up the top 10 holding companies and some other things about PDBC. I was shocked - now it's a bunch of treasuries. A totally different animal. So are some of the others that did super great when I was in it in March or thereabouts 2022. It peaked at late June early July. That's when I got out with an amazing profit. This is probably one reason for silence on some of these now. Go check it out. These ETF animals morph. Be well.
Charlie, PDBC is now a different ETF than it was when we first learned of it early spring 2022. That's when I got in. I looked it up and saw the top 10 holdings - COMPLETELY different now. It peaked in late June or so 2022. Fortunately I cashed out before it took a dive. But now it's a bunch of treasuries., mostly. Go check it out.
There's a reason for silence on that ETF. Charlie P is the post above yours and I replied to that and to Dangerous Donna above your post too. It peaked in June/July 2022. Then the top 10 holdings turned into mostly government treasuries. So the ETF is a totally different animal now.
Not sure about the latest recommendations 🤔. I thought the idea was to earn dividends while waiting for the crash and the funds Greg listed either have low dividends or annually paid ones which might pay nothing if they crash the market within the next 12 months.
I see it as early for the commodity complex judging from charts on all those ETF s. Huge potential just ahead though and I think new all time highs until a global depression hits. Then the precious metals and foods should outperform everything else. After that I don't plan to be in any paper markets. Why when shares redeemed are in hyperinflated fiat.
Charlie, I'm sorry about this for you. Greg is in a position that if he gives us advice, he can be in trouble. Last summer someone in our group made comments in that direction as a warning to Greg.
Not sure if you were here to witness all the exchanges on that comment but it was scary probably for Greg. He even got an attorney to make sure he was in compliance. Well, from then on Greg has been very quiet about this sort of thing. Can we blame him? But this situation has made you and I very aware that those ETF's can change holdings before you know it. Now we must check them often and even then, how are we going to know when they decide to change the portfolio? Not even Greg can know that. Take care.
Hi there GM! I invested some in JEPI a few months ago. Not much happening. Are you using JEPI as kinda a parking spot for your money? Waiting for other opps to jump into or is this a loooong term action?
Unless one is buying an ETF that tracks an underlying asset (like XOP or SPDR) the yield roll is likely to play havoc with your returns, even if prices rise. Not investment advice. But a lot of these ETFs are based on futures pricing and hence, are not actually tracking the actual spot price of the assets.
I see greatest potential in WEAT. I think USDA is screwing around with crop estimates. CORN, WEAT, SOYB, CANE and even JO will make a person some money in the days ahead. Dollar decline and continued insane weather conditions will continue to raise food prices.
I've been in WEAT for months now. I'm in NO HURRY. We are going through our surplus grain right now - at least what we haven't shipped to other countries. We have ZERO grain to replace and doubtful any other country will sell to us; they will just declare force majeure.
Yes indeed. WEAT and CANE are other good ones. I totally agree. As,the Ukraine War effects the wheat crop in the Ukraine, WEAT will benefit. Good calls on your part.
LOL notice how he doesnt mention how PDBC has CRATERED since he started recommending it. funny it didnt make the list!!!!!

Yes, I do notice what he does and doesn’t. I sold mine too. Made nothing

Charts on all of them are down but there will be a new leg up on them when the FED slows. Quarter one is my guess and possibly late in it.
Greg you had listed a different commodity ETF, pcbd ???, last year for long term.
It is not listed. It has lost 30-40% of value since listed.
Wtf is going on here???
Not awesome at all.

Pdbc, wow!!
I'm killed off.
No guidance, no notices from gm.
Sucks!!!
Long hold, pissed off!!!
Ok, I'll check holdings.
Thanks

Any other opinions out there?
Wondering the same
I'm looking at them too. The substantial holdings in treasuries in some of these is interesting.
Why is PDBC. Or on this list?

Pdbc. Is the ticker.
What happened to this value commodity index

Hard assets, gold silver, I have in possession.
What about real estate holdings as hard assets at this time.???
Aaaah. Good sherlocking. Thanks a bunch. Well Greg should tell us this stuff. I will check it out

Good point.
Greg, more peaks than the Rockies!
Thank you sir!! I'm in two!!

Just wondering why CORN did not make this list. I've made modest gains on it this year. Not sure how much additional upside it has.
I see greatest potential in WEAT. I think USDA is screwing around with crop estimates. CORN, WEAT, SOYB, CANE and even JO will make a person some money in the days ahead. Dollar decline and continued insane weather conditions will continue to raise food prices.

Happy to wait your prediction out.
Yes indeed. WEAT and CANE are other good ones. I totally agree. As,the Ukraine War effects the wheat crop in the Ukraine, WEAT will benefit. Good calls on your part.
The other problem is weather related issues in the US wheat belt
due to the weather manipulated drought last year from the Dakotas to Kansas to Texas.
Thank you
