Back to the Future - Commodities Rule Again [View article]
Mark: Enjoyed reading your article. Horde trading and "Quants" have as you said taken over the commodity investing world once again. As a commodity trader since 2002 I share your sense of unease about this "casino". I liked it a lot better when no one ever heard of Rio Tinto or BHP. What is happening is like the boat where everybody is running to one side of the boat. You know that it will eventually capsize. This is indeed a scary time for investors. When you can't or (don't need) to fundamentaly evaluate stocks for purchase that is a very dangerous thing.
