    Any issues with the JO etf that I should be concerned about? Like daily negative compounding? The obscure part of an index it tracks? The type of coffee that this part of an index tracks.

    Coffee futures have been on a bit of a run here, and the etf has not quite matched the performance, so I am a tad concerned.
     
  2. I'm not sure but you just reminded me to get creamer. I have been out for days.

    nravo---you're worried about the wrong things. Volume for JO was only 8000 for the entire day.

    Its a coffee etf, what type of volume did you expect? I would be more worried about what the OP asked about...

    Some near term weakness - however, this name remains in the confines of a longer term uptrend

    OP

    did u consider & rule out the 2 liq. fut ctrcts on COF

    just wondering - 'cos seems pretty clear to me that for this & other commodity mkts - the futures would be the most transac. efficint way to spec. on the px.

    in fact i only use ETF s that are pure stock baskets
    XL [F,E, I, V, ] etc

    IB is my broker and the only futures are electronically traded, which limits me. If I am wrong, somebody let me know.
