    The big Invesco Perpetual (High) Income, Merrill Lynch Gold and General and JP Morgan Natural Resources

    Well JP Morgan Nat Res seems to have faded a bit recently with nimbler similar funds taking up the running.

    Lest we forget, that the purpose of this thread is;

    A) So Womble can inform the world he has jumped onto the Bandwagon that everyone else with any savvy has been on for 12 months

    B) So Womble can tell everyone that JPM Natural Resouces is a c*8p fund, and AAA rated Ian Henderson is a wuss !!!

    C) No discussion of either of the above will be tolerated !!!!

    I think it is best to hold commodities direct rather than funds for the commodity producers. Mind you, until I can shunt my Prot Rights Pension into an H&L SIPP in October i have temporarily put it into Meryll Lynch Gold and General in preference to JPN Nat res - I cant invest it in commodites direct until October. I invested in JPN Nat res last year so been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.

    Actually Meryl Lynch world mining has better performance over 3/2/1 years was reading an interview with Ian Henderson he stated that Gold had saved his funds bacon last year.;)

    I dont know why he almost completely neglected agricultural commodities. For example wheat has been going mental. Perhaps I will give him a ring so I can tell him where he is going wrong :cool::D Maybe he is going senile :eek:

    He neglected Agri commodities and Gold till fairly recently and the perfomance shows

    The First State Global Resources fund is outperforming as is MLW World Mining Trust.

    Maybe JP Nat res is too big and bloated to turn around quickly enough ??(it is a large fund) though not questioning the Managers expertise.:cool:

    Hello

    Regarding blue line: can anyone tell me what is it all about with that 'icicles' (eg what causes them?) they seem to be the best opportunity to sell and than re-buy).

    Cheers for your help,

    I think they're glitches with the price feed.

    Hello

    Hmm, but if they are they would have been corrected so far, I've found them on a couple of different servers (including brokers and sources) + they have certain value + on that day they had to have been traded at certain price + I have never seen something similar (I haven't seen much but still :-)

    BTW: I've just spent about 7h researching whether to go for investment funds through HL or etfs through e*Trade for my S&S ISA need to decide today as the deadline is coming. Any suggestion will help!.:-)

    Thanks for answering both issues,

    THE NOX
