Is investing in water possible?

The film, The Big Short that stars top Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell.

If you have watched it closely, the film ends(before credits) with this quote about Bale's character, Michael Burry:
"The small investing he still does is all focused on one commodity: water."

To give you a recap, Michael Burry is the person who predicted the 2008 crisis and also made a lot of money by shorting the market.

And, now he is focusing on investing in water.
But why water?

Water is a scarce commodity, where only 1% of the Earth's surface water is freshwater.

Burry has been buying water and farmland assets before it gets expensive. Even Wall Street has started treating water as a serious investment.
How can you trade or invest in water?

There are index funds, ETFs, companies that focus only on water. Invesco S&P Global Water Index is one of them. This ETF invests in water utilities, infrastructure, equipment, etc.
The dollar returns are 15% in the past five years, 12% in the past ten years. The rupee returns would be even higher.

Apart from this, there is also the First Trust Water ETF (FIW). It invests in companies that get most of their revenues from the potable and wastewater industry.
Water is a daily essential but never considered part of a portfolio. If you feel the scarcity of water will increase due to climate change, consider investing in water.

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
