Unfortunately the perfect storm continues as another critical problem is looming and this one is on a global scale. The world is becoming hungrier and hungrier. There are recent stories that are surfacing with details of third world countries around the world that are struggling to feed their people or going to extreme measures to guard food and crops as the prices of food continues to surge.
Commodities like copper and food are to be watched closely. Stories that once sounded absurb about thiefs here in the US stealing copper from new housing developments or even power lines are becoming NORMAL. And now stories about around the world of uprisings over food prices is also becoming NORMAL. Some say the perfect storm surrounds the following reasons:
~ Rising oil prices
~ Rising demand by emerging countries like China and India for food and other commodities
~ Rising demand for biofuel which has lead to land and crops once used primarily for food to now be used as an alternative fuel for oil
Now these are not laughing matters but as the prices continue to rise in commodities like wheat, corn, copper, oil, natural gas, aluminum, etc...I continue to stick by the trades that make these industries possible. I have given you those names here recently, but I also ask that you include the agricultural plays.
Stay tuned for more information on how to profit from the commodity storm.
