Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Commodity-focused mutual funds and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) are notoriously volatile: For the year ending April 30, the category had an average standard deviation of 17.08%, and a three-year annualized average of 14.42%.
