Why Commodities Investors Can Expect Sunnier Days Ahead

By , Money Morning - January 31, 2013

We're still in a commodity supercycle, though lately investor psyche has been damaged by reports about slowing U.S. growth, a hard landing in China, or a debt crisis in Europe. Until now.

You Don't Want to Miss This Opportunity

By , Money Morning - July 19, 2012

I recently spoke at FreedomFest in Vegas along with the world's best and brightest minds, such as Steve Forbes, Senator Rand Paul, and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey.

I discussed the growing global demand for resources and gold to a crowd of 2,000.

Half of the group was attending for the first time, which demonstrates to me a growing curiosity to learn about macro trends shaping the world and affecting our investments.

Among investors these days, coming across a fellow commodity bull is about as rare as finding a positive story in the media, especially when you look at the results of metals and natural resources during the first half of 2012.

Only four commodities on our periodic table pulled off a positive return.

Wheat grew the most, rising 13 percent, followed by single-digit rises from corn, gold and copper. On the negative side, coal lost more than 19 percent, followed by crude oil (-14.1 percent), nickel (-13.6 percent) and lead (-12.3 percent).

A Clear Tipping Point for Resources

Fears of slowing global growth and how it will affect commodities have caused many investors to dig their heels in the ground and resist owning natural resources. Perpetuating this negative investor sentiment is the constant 24/7 news cycle punctuated with pessimism.

During a natural resources conference, Jeremy Grantham of GMO pounded the table for an investment in resources, but you wouldn't know it by reading the headline of the CNN piece that covered the topic.

In its article called, "Our planet will truly be toast," CNN discussed Grantham's comments on a global commodities shortage, saying he was "bearish on human resources...but bullish on natural resources investments."

His argument focused on the swelling population in China, and the fact that the world had experienced a "great paradigm shift" around 2000, when commodity prices, which were negative for decades, "abruptly reversed course." He told the crowd, "in the long run, you can't afford to miss this opportunity." We agree.
