Press Release Summary: Private Equity Placement Inflation fears drive renewal of
commodity ETF popularity

Press Release Body: A source close to European-based investment specialist "Private
Equity Placement" believes that recent sharp gains in the price of commodities
including gold and oil are responsible for corresponding upward movement in the
shares of ETFs that track their underlying prices.

The "Private Equity Placement" source suggested that fear among investors meant that
priorities had changed to capital preservation and safety. Many analysts, including
those at "Private Equity Placement", are concerned that the unprecedented bailout of
the market for collateralized debt obligations will stoke serious inflationary
pressures.

"Private Equity Placement" are apparently citing the stubbornly high LIBOR rates for
3 month money as an indication that the markets remain unconvinced of the
effectiveness of the bailout announced by Hank Paulson recently. ETFs (Exchange
Traded Funds) represent an easy way for investors to invest in commodities without
the hassle of actually taking delivery or storage.
