Especially in places such as China and India, a rising middle class is using that extra cash to splurge on more food, cars and other consumer goods. But many are wondering, too, if agriculture is going to be the next big bubble to burst.

Bubble or not, you can protect yourself on the downside by watching the trend lines. When your holding drops below its 200-day moving average or 8% off its high, it’s time to let it go.
