The world is trying to recover economic growth after the 2008 debacle. Most governments followed
an easy money policy, only to unpleasantly find later, that the easy money fuelled paper assets
rather than physical assets.
But now it seems that this trend may reverse. In
The theory of economic cycles should, sooner than later, come in to play and we shall see the supply
lagging behind demand for commodities (please note that at the bottom of the economic bust, demand
does not necessarily pick up, but supply starts drying up which leads to a rise in prices)
Thus those of you, who have treated commodity stocks like crap till now, may want to reconsider
their stand for the coming years!
Prices follow fundamentals and price charts are nothing but reflections of the collective investor
behaviour. A technical price chart analysis also suggest that we are near the bottom remember,
bottoms are usually made in panics and that is what we are observing in todays times. Long term
investors would be better off buying commodity based stocks in the coming two quarters and sit tight
thereafter!
