Hi Gang, I too had a sale, DBC. Did not make a lot but I have decided that it does not fit my needs. I have decided that regardless of what something is it needs to pay a dividend about equal to or a bit better than inflation to protect against it. It is a hell of a note to make money but inflation has taken a bite out of the return, especially if it is a long time between trades.

As I clean out the stuff the broker foisted off on my mother I'm looking for those that meet that criteria and that they have at least a range over 2 years of 1.5 to 1. I have also decided that it is best to stick to stuff that is less that $35/share. When I look at those that are higher they seem to have less of a range and less volatility. Since most ETFs don't have a beta it is a bit hard to get a handle on volatility.

Does anyone know how to calculate a beta for an ETF?

Thanks,

Allen
