Can't show this to you. Since most of commodity futures are in contango fro the last couple of years. THIS info is widely available since this is recent history/current event: http://seekingalpha.com/article/114288-commodities-roll-yield-in-2009 When I referred to my hunch (even out), it...

If the info may be in public domain, what is wrong with asking about it? Is not this what forums are for? On the other hand if this is considered cutting edge research or paid research then it is a different story.

Thoughful responses. I wonder if someone can point to some studies on losses/gain from near month contract roll over (for NG or anything else)?? For a period of 30 years. I have (unproven) hunch that over a period of time contango/backwardation negate each other, and even very crude roll...

Can you elaborate? Contango? Day trader does not care, and long term investor can handle this, since contango may reverse and his risk/reward perspective is different. Premium over underlying? 2% for UNG is no big deal Those are 2 major news items. Not sure if they put 100% into...

"In the latest chapter of the United States Natural Gas ETF(UNG Quote) saga, the fund has begun to trade at a noticeable premium to its actual value, forcing investors to "pay up" to get a hold of shares. ...UNG closed at a 2.56% premium to net asset value (NAV). The eventual approval of...

While I saw a lot of new contstruction, it would be foolish to draw conclusions on small sample of data. Thin slicing does not always work. This article provides more data points and thus is useful.

Total number of outstading shares (per each day/week) would work as well.

Is there a way to see what market cap stock/etf had at a given time? It can be useful in seeing the trend in money flow (in/out). Ideally it should be charted along with price. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Bad, but better then what we have now. Why a need to create money/inflate? I recall 2 core arguments: a) to better manage economy and give it boost when needed. They forget about a bust and that whenever you introduce additional variable (management) into the system (currency) you...

How can there be no inflation and , at the same time, a decrease in purchasing power of currency (as stated above)?? I am using a standard definition of the word... In economics, inflation or price inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services over a period of...

Of course they are right, since inflation is a true long term policy. In relatively short term (20 years?) the policy is to create business cycles via control of $. As some have noted here and in other threads, it is likely that some assets will deflate while others inflate.

You disproving statement Rogers newer made. He newer called a bottom, neither in stock nor in commodities. All he said, that after deflation is over inflation comes next with commodities leading rally (AG with biggest risk/reward ratio). And you should know that he is the first to say that...

Here is what is interesting to me. Few months back he mentioned that more regulations are coming. He also mentioned that as a result 2/3 of current hedge funds will go out of biz due to inability to trade on smaller leverage. So more downside across the board starting now? ------------------...

Yes. Why such basics are misunderstood? What was the reason for fractional reserve banking in the very very first place? Back then it did not even have a special/fancy name. It was planly a dishonest banking. Why what was called cheating before has a fancy name now? Oh, I see - has...

Still, US has the biggest military budget (with whatever it brings to the table). Can play game with that if things get really bad. After that - game over.

We try to find out, How boxes lay out, Perhaps when we do, More work will be due. But just for moment, Lets think how we think, We guess of proportions, Of locations and notions. So what is our hope? To see once we see? What else but a guessing, Is now transgressing? Instead...

DBA, DBC , other commodity ETFs ETNs TLT/TBT seems like they would do a job too

Wow. We have a clear attention winner. Jack! He wins by you linking him or disliking him. Why don't we forget about him? How many times do we have to say that "king" in naked? 1) Jack is using a lot of smart words together. Even if he is a genius, he certainty lacks ability to effectively...

I was sarcastic. And sarcasm is bad and error-prone way to communicate, sorry.
