The commodities bull has already run a long way and the "pundits" are saying the boom is over. Don't believe it for a minute. As long as central banks keep interest rates low, the commodities boom will continue. Read this report for five ways to make money on skyrocketing commodities prices.
Here Are 10 “One-Click” Ways to Earn 10% or Better on Your Money Every Quarter
Appreciation is great, but it’s possible to get even more out of the shares you own. A lot more: you can easily beat inflation and collect regular income to spare. There are no complicated trades to put on, no high-level options clearances necessary. In fact, you can do this with a couple of mouse clicks – passive income redefined. Click here for the report…
I think you are correct that low interest rates will keep the interest in commodities up, chances are it is another bubble (and so says Roubini too). The danger is that the USD is not allowed to drop anymore. The Fed could raise interest by a symbolic 0.25% and cause great damage to stocks and commodities.
The issue with commodities is that they are usually correlated. Investors should also properly diversify if they go into commodities, high correlations are not good. GRN and BAL have the perfect 0.0 score for uncorrelated ETFs. These are global carbon (is carbon a commodity?) and cotton. Other good pairs:
UAG/SGG
JJT/AGF
GRN/GCC

BHP is the world`s biggest miner & has oil.Australian gold stokes took over after the Californian gold rush–why no metion? I have on ASX__HEG,SHX.NQM. all penny stokes with great potential.
Can anyone say silver at 50 and gold at 3500 an ounze? Of course commodities are going to go thru the roof. Take a look at the charts. And where on Gods green planet are we recovering? Real estate prices will drop more and the dollar is going to be almost worthless. Really I can not see any type of recovery in any arena. HYPERINFLATION yes………….
Dear Mr. Hutchinson,
I'm a Canadian resident. My money are locked in RSP., and I'm invested in Direct Investing with the Royal Bank of Canada.
If I invest in the U.S. what are the tax implications?
I'm interested in Tiny Texan. How can you invest in Tiny Texan if it's not on the market?
When I was interested in Penny Stocks and I called to invest in MDOR, they warned me that they don't do paper trade because of what happen in the past. These stocks most of them are over the counter.
That something that I never did and I don't have any expierence.
I hope you answer my email.
Thank you for your information.
Sincerely,
Grace Tonna
Dear Editor,
Well nobody is mentioning STEEL in the commodity sector. But at the end IRON ORE is used in STEEL isn't it? If you don't use STEEL then your IRON ORE can rather stay in the ground then!!!
The OLD infrastructures in the US and in Europe are mainly STEEL infrastructure. They will need to be replaced!!!
So the biggest boom to come is in STEEL SHAREs. Choose Thyssen (germany), Arcelor (europe) , any big steel US steel maker and you will be a winner. Those shares have fallen dramatically, are languishing down but they will rebound. Be patient…
STEEL AND ZINC (specially GALVANISED products) as well as Aluminium.
Don't look further.
Regards,
Alex Wonner ( big steel investor with iron nerves!!!)
