Product Description

Review

‘…fantastic simplicity and elegance…the best explanation of "contango" and "backwardation" that I've read' (FT.com, October 2010).

Product Description

The world has changed and so too has investing. The market is shell shocked and yesterday's momentum stocks are today's slow-motion stocks. But in the new reality of low-growth investing, commodities are hot and getting hotter. A rapidly industrializing and urbanizing Asia will be demanding lots more copper, zinc, iron ore, coal, fertilizers, gold and oil to transform their societies. Commodities are it and that's great news for investors who want to profit from the next great bull market in commodities. In fact, commodities may be about the only asset class that is likely to outperform the broad market in the future.

Although they are without a doubt important to the global economy, commodities are among the most misunderstood of all asset classes. Stocks, bonds and real estate all have legions of followers and plenty of experts agree on their importance within an investment portfolio, but venture into the world of commodities and you are into an area that's intimidating to the average investor, where suspicions run deep and understanding is limited. As a result, commodities get short-shrift in most investment accounts and investors miss out on some important opportunities.

The Little Book of Commodity Investing is an indispensible guide to learning the ins and outs of commodity investing. It's about identifying opportunities to profit from the coming bull market in commodities. It explains the benefits of commodities as part of a well diversified investment portfolio; covers all of the major commodities markets; what makes commodities and the companies that produce them tick; why commodities sometimes zig and then zag; what to buy and when to buy it; and why commodities are the next big thing.

Today's world is a very different world-a world where an understanding of commodities is a prerequisite for investment success. And The Little Book of Commodity Investing is the roadmap you need to discover where the opportunities of the future lie, and what to do about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overview of Commodities, Sep 1 2010
This review is from: The Little Book of Commodity Investing (Hardcover)
Excellent introduction to the world of commodities. John Stephenson provides an excellent overview of the economics of commodities and the fundamentals of why they will be in such big demand for the near future. Whether it be gold, grains or oil, this book gives a very good explanation of how these commodities come to market and how they affect our daily lives. The author also makes recommendations about how to profit from commodities and where to invest. If you have been disappointed with a " typical " portfolio consisting of equities, bonds etc., John gives a detailed perspective and an excellent rational for looking at commodities. Great buy. Easy read.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Little Book of Commodity Investing (Hardcover)
I've just finished reading a great little book that has made the world of commoodities understandable for me. "The Little Book of Commodity Inesting" by John Stephenson is not only interesting and fun to read, but it is packed with practical and useful tips on how to invest in commodities. I never understood what commodities were before, but isn't it a great idea to invest in the things that we use every day? Things that we understand? I loved the author's writing style, it is witty and colorful. He really engaged me as a reader.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants an entertaining and informative read.
