thanks, DBA is 25% each of wheat, corn, soy, and sugar#11, but rebalanced only once each year in November, current weightings here:
http://www.dbfunds.db.com/dba/weights.aspx
also via this link above, see chart at far right which gives intraday NAV of DBA (likely 30 minute delay):
"Indicative Intra-day NAV** 24.87 " (per chart at right)
"Last end of day NAV*** 24.897 "
(thus change of -$.027 for today)

DBA is a long term investment for me, glad to find a cheap means to invest in a agricultural commodity index. Just took a small starter position. Agriculture commodities (staple goods) should do better than more cylical commodities (e.g. base metals) in a recession. Also, somewhat of a hedge to my natgas working interest/royalty business (El Nino warming bad for natgas, but drought (less rainfall over midwest) would be good for agricultural commodities).

Remain very bullish LONG TERM on natgas and drilling more long life wells.
