Legendary investor Jim Rogers came out again on a recent Reuters news cast peating his view that commodities were the best place to be with ,more so than stocks this year and he is a strong advocate of them long-term potential for soft commodities. Putting things into focus Jim Rogers was one of the only so called experts to call the housing crisis… Can you imagine how much money you would have made if you listened to him. So many commodities are at multi year lows. One good drought or devaluation could send them rising. Do you remember how much you were paying for gasoline for your car in 2008. You could have made money if you were trend following crude or allocated a percentage of your net worth to a commodity trading adviser or partook in a managed futures fund.

So many people have purchased stocks because they were cheap… but cheap can get cheaper. When one invests in a trend following manner there is no opinions… Markets go up..YOU BUY…they go down..YOU SELL… there is no hope …just simple price action. Putting price action along with a strong money management stance over time you stand the potential to profit.
