This week, Sean’s on a much-deserved vacation. So in lieu of a new issue today, we’ve rounded up a handful of recent columns on commodity crops.
With the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 7% over the past year, investing in commodities seems like a wise move.
History doesn’t repeat … but it often rhymes … telling us that commodities thrive during inflationary periods.
And the Invesco DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (NYSE: DBC) is a gauge of just how well commodities are doing right now:
It’s no coincidence the fund’s thriving right now.
But back to commodity crops, specifically: corn, wheat, sugar and soy.
No matter the application — whether they’re used for candy, biofuel or livestock feed — this handful of crops presents a tremendous investment opportunity during times of inflation.
That makes now an especially great time to share some of Sean’s latest issues on those cash crops to help you grow your investment potential:
One of the most lucrative commodities is sugar, and there are some easy ways to add positions to your portfolio that can potentially sweeten your returns. In this issue, we’ll share two of those ideas.
For 2022, one of your resolutions should be to broaden your exposure to commodities. I still like gold, silver and oil. But other commodities are just as easily tradable … moving higher … and poised for even bigger gains. In this issue, we’re talking about wheat!
Profit on the Booming Demand for an American Staple
Let’s look at an easy way to invest in another important grain: soybeans. As the world’s largest source of animal feed — and the second largest source of vegetable oil — soybeans and soybean byproducts are the most traded agricultural commodities worldwide, making up more than 10% of the global agriculture trade.
Corn represents the largest agricultural futures market in the world ... and it’s grown in almost every temperate and tropical region of the world. And while it’s grown in nearly every U.S. state, most is produced in the Corn Belt, which supplies over 40% of the world’s corn.
Biofuels Offer a Bumper Crop of Potential
While the carbon available in fossil fuels is a huge source of energy, so is the carbon found in biofuels. And America is the undisputed champion when it comes to ethanol production.
