About this product: According to Jim Rogers, "commodities get no respect." Here are a few reasons why he thinks they should: they are easier to comprehend and study than stocks and behave more rationally since they are subject to the basic laws of supply and demand; they have outperformed many other investment options in recent years; it is foolish to ignore an entire sector of the marketplace; and a bull market is currently under way in commodities--a trend that Rogers expects to last for a least a decade longer. Further, Rogers believes that you cannot be a successful investor in stocks, bonds, or currencies without an understanding of commodities. Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World's Best Market is designed to introduce the novice to the basics of investing in commodities as well as explain what they are and why they are important. In doing so, he shatters some myths about the relative risks of commodities, explains the relationship between the stock and commodities markets, and provides a succinct analysis and history of the global oil, gold, lead, sugar, and coffee markets.
Rogers also offers practical advice and information for beginners, including the best resources, how to read the commodities reports in the newspaper or on television, the various ways to open an account, information on index funds (such as Rogers' own index fund that he started in 1998), mechanisms, terminology, and other vital details people must know before investing. Clearly written and entertaining, Hot Commodities offers a solid introduction to investments that many people, including financial advisors, fail to give the proper respect. --Shawn Carkonen

Though scale trading(or value investing(has been around and kicking since 1975, this methodology is not well known. It first captured Hal Masover's attention in 1991. Hal describes why(and what has kept him committed to it since then. Of all the methodologies Hal has tried during his many years trading futures, only value investing has been successful for his customers year after year.

The topic is timely. We have been riding a stock bull market for ten years. This is the longest bull market in history. The inflation of paper assets has placed stock price multiples at levels seen prior to the 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes. The time to diversify portfolios is not after the bear has started but before the bull has ended. We don't know when the bull market will be over, but we have to assume that we are a lot closer to the end than the beginning. According to Dr. Harry M. Markowitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, diversification in an investment portfolio works best when an investor selects investments that do not correlate with each other. Of the various exchange-traded, regulated investments, commodity futures represent the least correlation with stocks. As a result, commodity futures may be the best vehicle for portfolio diversification.
