| Comment | 51.320 | David Baskin | Not a fan of ETFs. He feels that with these you get the good, the bad and the ugly. Prefers Potash (POT-T) has not participated in the rally. Also likes Agrium (AGU-T). A good buy in the US would be Archer Daniels Midland (ADM-N). | 2012-01-31 | |
| BUY | 53.790 | Don Vialoux | Agricultural ETF's, Moo (MOO-N), Cow (COW-T) or Soil (SOIL-N)? Soil is new and is a package of fertilizer stocks. Agriculture stocks tend to bottom around the beginning of August and tend to move higher until around the end of December. Fertilizer stocks tend to lead agriculture stocks and usually start the end of June. Anyone of them are good. (See Top Picks.). | 2011-06-30 | |
| Comment | 52.760 | John Hood | Not sure there is seasonality to it. Also uses COW-T. Rising food prices are positive for it but there may be some downside short term. MOO is in US$, COW is not hedged. It’s basically feeds and seeds. | 2011-06-10 | |
| Comment | 54.360 | John Hood | Global Agriculture ETF (COW) or Agribusinesses ETF (MOO) or is there something with better momentum? He could care less about momentum but does prefer the COW, simply because it is in Cdn $s.. | 2011-05-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 56.890 | Jaime Carrasco | Agriculture ETF. Good way to play the sector but would caution on the currency. Buying in Cdn$, which is going up could limit your gains. Prefers Claymore’s Global Agriculture ETF (COW-T). | 2011-02-18 | |
| Comment | 38.650 | John DeGoey | Agribusinesses ETF. Prefers Global Agricultural ETF (COW-T) as it trades in Canada. There are additional problems on this with currency exchange. Could also be some IRS reporting that most people would rather avoid. | 2010-07-12 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 41.060 | Stan Wong | (A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 18.4%.) Agriculture ETF. Long-term feces developing countries changing their food habits from starch-based two more protein-based. | 2010-02-04 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 43.000 | Stan Wong | (A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 25.5%.) Still likes the agriculture sector a lot. This one has exposure to fertilizer, seeds and equipment. There will be a greater and greater demand for food so this is an area that should continue to do well. | 2009-12-17 | |
| BUY | 39.420 | John DeGoey | US$ ETFs have added currency risk. If you are not worried about the currency, this is a good way to play agriculture. | 2009-10-09 | |
| WEAK BUY | 39.880 | Vinny Catalano | Market Vectors Agribusinesses E.T.F. A basket of companies in the agricultural sector. Recently scaled back because of Monsanto's announcement of layoffs and concerns on future earnings guidance. Would own a small position of .5% to 1% exposure. | 2009-09-22 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 39.900 | Stan Wong | (A Top Pick June 19/08. Up 15.2%.) Agricultural ETF. Still like this. Global population is growing by 75 million every year. Developing countries are changing their food habits to more protein. | 2009-09-17 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 37.510 | Stan Wong | (A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 8.17%.) Agriculture ETF. Longer term, demand will continue to increase for agricultural businesses. Likes this one long-term. | 2009-07-30 | |
| TOP PICK | 34.640 | Stan Wong | Agriculture ETF. Has just moved down to the 200 day moving average and he expects a bit of a bounce from here. This ETF gives you access to all the great agricultural names. | 2009-06-19 | |
| Comment | 26.930 | Jaime Carrasco | Has been selling his holdings and switching to Claymore Global Agriculture (COW-T). Same product but in Canadian dollars. Long-term, he thinks the agricultural patch is the best area to be in. Hardly any debt in this industry and there are great earnings. | 2009-01-15 | |
| BUY | 25.150 | Vinny Catalano | Still likes agricultural. If you own either PowerShare DB Agriculture E.T.F. (DBA-A) or Market Vectors Agribusinesses E.T.F. (MOO-A), consider averaging down. Not a bad entry level. Long-term investments. Prefers the DBA. | 2008-10-17 | |
| VAGUE | 26.660 | Jeff Black | Agriculture ETFs: Canada is a small market and slicing and dicing ETFs this small doesn’t make sense. There is concentrated risk. | 2008-10-06 | |
| BUY | 55.260 | Jaime Carrasco | Likes agriculture. Low management fees. | 2008-07-25 | |
| BUY | 59.770 | Som Seif | There is a strong demand for commodities right now and a long-term secular movement into commodities. The run that we have seen is not anywhere close to what the prices over the next 5 years will be. | 2008-05-02 | |
| DON'T BUY | 52.000 | Peter Brieger | In the agriculture sector he prefers either iPath DJ-AIG Agricultural Index (JJA-N) or iPath DJ-AIG Grains Index (JJG-N) because they are broader based. | 2008-02-06 | |
|
| |||||
| DON'T BUY | 57.400 | Peter Brieger | Fairly thin. For agriculture, use iPath DJ-AIG (JJA-N), which gives you a basket of agricultural commodities sponsored by Barclays. (Also see his Top Picks.) | 2007-12-28 |
