<description><![CDATA[Yea, I agree!! Stay away from loaded funds.   I've been researching new energy funds since Charles Ober (portfolio manager for PRNEX) is retiring.   I think Jennison Natural Resource Fund Z Shares might be something to research further....take a look and tell me what you think....]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just got out of an Oil ETF I should not have been in in the first place, it was definitely for daytraders.   I'm looking for a good commodity fund (or ETF) to hold for the long term as a small part of my investments. 

Would anyone here reccomend this fund for a basic investor like myself?   Or any other ideas?

Thanks]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The fund pays it's distribution on Dec. 31. It was close to $6. Go to Van Eck's web site and look for distributions for the numbers.
For an explaination of the distributions, do a Google search fo mutual fund distributions or look at these articles.

<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone. I bought this for a little over $25 a while back and it's been steadily impressive. Wish I had put more in and just sat back and watched.

I'm guessing you guys are right that this fund has plenty of room to go further. I may add more myself sometime soon.

Good luck to all.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I agree and have had this fund for three years now and made nothing but $$$$$$$$$$$. Looking to buy on the dips if they continue. Look for an entry point @ 45 if the dip comes before years end. Up 33% YTD.]]></description>
