Could someone please explain the terms in this sentence to me?

Something i read just now:

" My investment advice- TBT, gold, silver, MOO, DBA, FXI in that order"

What is TBT?
MOO?
DBA?
FXI?

( the other 2 I know...heh)

Those are stock symbols - the Google will tell all.

I'm not sure about TBT but I think that Dalai Lama guy comes from there.

TBT: Tawdry British Transvestites. Kind of like Eddie Izzard, Sir Elton, or (more customarily and less intelligently) the Conservative Party.

MOO: Multiple Onanistic Orgasms. A series of several selections of salacious and stimulating self-sex.

DBA: Disciplinary Bondage Action. Strapping the submissive down before strapping the submissive. Spanking the Monkey plus 10 million years of evolution, and maybe a private school uniform.

FXI: Fucking eXclusive of Introitus. Sex without intercourse. The gold and silver is customarily used to help under-leveraged males facilitate the transition into a full frontal fiduciary merger, though crystallized carbon sets the market standard, conducting trading with the practice that all rocks of any tangible value require mounting.

If this is something you just read ... by all means, keep reading!

:evilgrin:

--d!
Our President wants us to stimulate the economy. Let's all do our part!

:rofl: :rofl:

:spray:

:rofl:

Brilliant!

(DBA -- hmmm, I think I'll keep that one if it's not copyrighted) :7

:spank:

--d!

safe for future DBA's, that is... :D

....heh heh, the look on the face of the lil' ol' paddle-ee there always cracks me up! Enjoying her/himself just a little too much. *snort*

Of course, I never had the presence of mind to invent a nickname for myself from which the word "spank" could be spelled, like "BlancheSplanchnik".

(I'm much better at figuring out stuff than making things up.)

--d!
DU Gnome God

Oh yes, of COURSE I totally planned that. Absolutely! Yes. No doubt about it, three dimensional 12 moves ahead chess.

Ha, and I was gonna try and comeback with a clever whaddayacalllit... dang that drives me nuts when I can't think of the werd.... well anyway, you beat me to it in SPADES, Dogmudgeon=DU Gnome God!

I've never been any good at those things anyway

and type them in at the top.

TBT is a Short 20+ treasury fund (The fund goes up when the price of long term Treasuries goes down)

MOO & DBA are Agriculture related funds.

FXI is a China index fund.

A speculation that inflation will rise. The poster or author is speculating that Agriculture commodities and Agribusiness will benefit as well in an inflationary environment. I suspect the China Fund is thrown in cause he is bullish on China.

There is a Unit Investment Trust that has been out for a couple of months incorporating the same idea, just more diversified. It uses both the long and short term - short Treasury ETF's, Silver and Gold ETF's instead of physical metals and selected mining stocks.

a while back, but I seem to remember that it's a load fund with fairly high management fees.

Expense ratio is 0.59%. Not too bad - a little high for an ETF perhaps, but not outrageous.

That's good advice...

MOO agricultural ETF.. I don't know....Could do better..
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FXI

DBA another ag.....
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DBA

UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ProShares (TBT) I don't know.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=TBT

Silver sux...

This sounds like LOUSY investment advice to me. But I'm not an expert..

It sounds like buy and hold advice. I think the buy and hold days are other..

DBB is base metals...
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DBB

I'd do that instead of ag....

They're high risk but they pay off big if you can get the timing right.

I made 10 K by getting in and out at the right time in REIT fund, inside of a small ROTH IRA.
( 2004 thru early 2007 )

But ETFs are something I have not looked at.

However, Denningr and Jim rogers are saying "agriculture commodites" a lot now.

Base metals....makes sense. Didn't I just read something about palladium going sky high?

I need to do a gut check, but no action until I watch for awhile more.
