Commodity Carnage: Where to Turn Next?

Sounds like you didn't do to good shorting the commodities and going long the financials .

Is the Commodities Bull Market Over?

All those who think the commodity boom is over ,doesn't understand the world economy nor supply and demand . If the world is in a slow down or recession its only natural that the demand for "things" go down . Now if you believe we are in a permenent state of decline then yes the commodity and everything else is going to go down further . Now if you believe the world economy will recover then china , russia ,india and other emerging countries will once again demand oil and every other commodity or "things " as during the commodity boom of last year . IF you add on that the US needs to rebuild its own infrastructure which will require lots of energy (oil) and "things " (commodities ) then demand for all these things will be great ..What I see is a global demand for limited supplies of all commodities including oil , which should produce huge increases of the price of all commodities and probably wars like the one in Georgia/Russia and the middle east including Iran . If you doubt this you are in for a rude awakening which would be perfectly american .

Second Worst Month For Commodities Ever

To MB Wealth .How do you know that smart investors aren't buying commodities on dips .

Another Bullish Argument for Commodities: Demographics

RoadstarBiker is a perfect example why the US is headed for disaster . He or she is buying cheap stuff from china etc and complaining about it . So I guess RoadstarBiker will be happier buying more expensive american made products . If that makes sense to you ,well.........

Is Oil a Bubble? Part One

Once again FAULTY thinking .The reason there are bubbles in such things as tech , housing etc is that a new an innovative area such as tech will be expensive at first then become cheaper as the enterprise matures and most then obtain this entity and the demand reduces . Computers and mobile phones were in great demand therefore any company involved in this enterprise will make lots of money on growth then as growth slows so does profits. Housing is similar as the author mentions , as houses become too expensive people stop buying them , UNLESS , there is some component that is in scarce supplies .If wood became scarce housing would become expensive until the wood shortage no longer existed .This is not true with oil . There is a finite amount of oil of which we are running out and what oil there is is VERY VERY expensive to obtain . Unless someone finds cheap oil and gas (not likely ) then the price of oil and gas will continue to go up because it cost more and more to explore and drill for oil ( everyone has the same feelings about pharmeuticals , tax and punish then wounder why we have fewer and more expensive drugs),and at this point there is not thing one that can be done . I'll bet the author is against coal and nuclear which means our dependence on oil will continue and the price will go up .This is not a bubble only bubbleheads .
