Jim Rogers - Commodities Are Hot

For the latest Jim Rogers, go to http://JimRogersBlog.com -

Jim Rogers keeps putting his money into things like Soybeans and sugar. That's why he wrote the book Hot Commodities to educate individual investors about how to make money in this market. You can make a lot of money in commodities if you do your homework. You can make more money in commodities compared to stocks or bonds, and it is a better inflation hedge.

You can buy soybeans the same way that you buy IBM. It doesn't have to be that scary. There are consilidations and corrections in any markets. In the 1980s and 1990s, there were several setbacks, but anyone who understood that we were in a long term bull market made a lot of money.

Everyone knows something about sugar or copper. Do your homework, and you can buy commodities, stocks, or even countries. Buy those if you don't want to buy the commodities themselves. A Yale study showed that buying the commodity itself made 300% more than buying stocks. You have to worry about management, earnings, and everything else. As we saw with enron, those can be fraudulent.

There has only been one lead mine opened in the past 25 years. There haven't been any oil discovered in the past 30 years. England used to be one of the largest producers of oil, but they are about to begin importing oil. It isn't too hard to see why we are in a bull market. There is a risk in anything, even bonds. It would be nice if it was easy to get rich. Ten years ago, China exported cotton, but now they are importing cotton.

4:16 "There's been 1 lead mine opened in the last 25 years" I doubt that's accurate. What about uranium mines? Uranium and lead are found together, that's because as time progresses, uranium decays into lead. My guess is in many of those mines there's is probably more lead than uranium, alot more.
