The world has changed and so, too, has investing. The market is shell
shocked and yesterday's momentum stocks are today's slow-motion stocks.
But in the new reality of low-growth investing, commodities are hot and
getting hotter. A rapidly industrializing and urbanizing Asia will be
demanding lots more copper, zinc, iron ore, coal, fertilizers, gold, and
oil to transform their societies. Commodities are it and that's great
news for investors who want to profit from the next great bull market in
commodities. In fact, commodities may be about the only asset class that
is likely to outperform the broad market in the future.
Although they are without a doubt important to the global economy,
commodities are among the most misunderstood of all asset classes.
Stocks, bonds, and real estate all have legions of followers and plenty
of experts agree on their importance within an investment portfolio, but
venture into the world of commodities and you are into an area that's
intimidating to the average investor, where suspicions run deep and
understanding is limited. As a result, commodities get short-shrift in
most investment accounts and investors miss out on some important
opportunities.
The Little Book of Commodity Investing is an indispensible guide to
learning the ins and outs of commodity investing. It's about identifying
opportunities to profit from the coming bull market in commodities. It
explains the benefits of commodities as part of a well diversified
investment portfolio; covers all of the major commodities markets; what
makes commodities and the companies that produce them tick; why
commodities sometimes zig and then zag; what to buy and when to buy it;
and why commodities are the next big thing.
Today's world is a very different world - a world where an understanding
of commodities is a prerequisite for investment success. And The Little
Book of Commodity Investing is the roadmap you need to discover where
the opportunities of the future lie, and what to do about it.
