Agriculture ETF

DBA - PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund

In an effort to more fully diversify my portfolio I've recently taken a full position in DBA. There are several Agricultural ETFs out there but I chose DBA because it's simple. DBA holds only four agriculture commodities through the use of futures contracts.

Since the beginning of this bear market I've been working towards creating what I call a personal hedge fund. My goal is to have 20% of my portfolio in alternative investments and this is another position towards that objective. I'll be writing more on this in the future.
