    Investing in Commodities
    Commodities are an interesting asset class right now for a number of reasons. Commodity investing is a good way to play both offense (global economic recovery) and defense (a hedge for your portfolio against rising future inflation and a falling dollar). They are also a great portfolio diversifier which can reduce the overall risk (volatility) of your portfolio.

    The Buy/Write Investment Strategy
       &nbs... After the dramatic drop in the stock market over the past year many investors are looking for ways to invest that are less risky than being 100% long the market. The market has proven to be “too volatile” for many investors recently. If only we could find ways to be invested and get much of the upside in the market but have some kind of “hedge” against declines in the value of our investments and portfolios. Inves... have looked to indexed annuities, hedge funds, market neutral funds, and broker sponsored “structured products” to try to get this ideal position of benefitting from the upside in the market but somehow limiting their downside risk. Unfortunately with investing “there is no such thing as a free lunch”. You have to sacrifice something in order to get that downside protection.
