*FEATURED VIDEOS IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE NOTES
**Important note regarding the first slide appearing in this clip: On a total return basis, the S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (S&PGSCI) has returned 9.5% per year since 1970, basically in line with the 9.8% return of the S&P 500 Index for the period 1/30/70 – 8/31/10. These returns are annualized. There is significant volatility on a per year basis and commodities may not outperform every year or over the short or long term. The risk of loss in commodities investing can be substantial. Prospective investors should consider carefully whether commodities trading is suitable for them and their investment objectives.

These uncertainties can cause individual commodity prices to move sharply higher or lower exposing an investment to volatility that may not be suitable for all investors.
