ETF Talk: Profit from Japan’s ‘Abenomics’
Since Shinzo Abe came to power as the prime minister of Japan late in 2012, the Japanese economy has rebounded due to his inflationary policies that have been described as “Abenomics.” The main thrust of his plan is aimed at weakening the yen against rival foreign currencies to spur growth inside of the island nation.

ETF Talk: Sink Your Teeth into PBJ
When most people think of the agricultural sector, farming is most likely to come to mind. However, by focusing on only production, people miss the end result of consumption. There are relatively few farmers producing food, but everyone eats it. An exchange-traded fund which profits from this reality is PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage (PBJ). […]
ETF Talk: Can Money Grow on Trees?
Conventional agricultural products include foods, fibers, fuels and raw materials, but there is an additional, unconventional segment of the industry that I want to bring to your attention: wood. Now, you may not think of wood as an agricultural product. But wood involves the growth and harvesting of organic material, so it fits the definition. […]
ETF Talk: Veggies May Pep up Your Portfolio
The last few ETF Talks have highlighted broad-based agricultural funds, but today’s featured exchange-traded fund is one that is focused on a narrow part of the sector: food production. This week’s featured ETF is the iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers Fund, which has an amusing ticker symbol: VEGI. This fund tracks an index that follows […]
ETF Talk: Satisfy Your Agricultural Appetite with MOO
The world’s population could top nine billion people by the year 2050, according to projections, and all of those people are going to boost demand for food. Even today, developing nations and increasing populations are raising global demand for food production. As such, farming, and all its component stages, should benefit.

ETF Talk: Power Your Shares from the Ground Up
Investing in agricultural products can be as risky as growing them in unpredictable weather. Droughts such as the one farmers faced in 2012 are a key concern. For that reason, it is important to know how to weather any economic storm in agriculture, whether it occurs in the industrial, technological or manufacturing sector. An exchange-traded […]
ETF Talk: CROP Offers Agribusiness Exposure
Agribusiness stocks have showed gains in the past year, despite 2012’s damaging U.S. drought. Increasing world population and emerging economies have contributed to agriculture’s growth. An ETF that tracks the global performance of the agribusiness sector is IQ Global Agribusiness Small Cap ETF (CROP). This non-diversified fund seeks investment results that correspond to the price […]
ETF Talk: Should Your Summer Plans Include Shorting Tech?
I have made a case during past ETF Talk articles that technology stocks tend to decline heading into the summer months, but I also want to educate you about a way to profit from any plunge. One answer is to “short” technology, and an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that lets you do so is the ProShares […]
ETFs for a Brave New World
It has often been said that the only constant in life is change. I agree with this thesis, and its implications for investors. You see, no matter what changes are taking place in the world, there are always opportunities for investors to embrace and profit from that change. Next week, I’ll be attending the Las […]

In this week’s ETF talk, we take a look at an emerging segment of the technology sector called nanotechnology. This niche focuses on very small, even microscopic, technology. Nanotechnology has produced technological developments in medicine (lasers), in electronics (ink jet systems) and in biomaterials (chemical and bio-detectors). An exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance […]
