Well, I’ve been saying it for 22 years: Commodities offer the best investment opportunity for all investors — big and small!

And now the word is really getting out in a big way.

I’m so pleased to see renowned investor Jim Rogers’ newest book — Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World’s Best Market doing so well and hitting the best-seller lists.

You may know of Jim Rogers. He co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros and then “retired” at age thirty-seven. Since then, he has become a media pundit, a sometime professor at Columbia University, and a ‘round-the-world traveler. [www.jimrogers.com]

Although Rogers has written several financial books, this is his first to offer investment advice. And what is he encouraging people to invest in?

Commodities!

The first line in his new book is “Commodities get no respect.”

He then goes on to say “A new bull market is under way, and it is in commodities...”

“And that is why I am of the opinion that the 2004 study from the Yale School of Management’s Center for International Finance, 'Fact and Fantasies About Commodity Futures,' is a truly revolutionary document."

[From that study:]

— Since 1959, commodities futures have produced better annual returns than stocks and outperformed bonds even more. Commodities have also had less risk than stocks and bonds, as well as better returns. [!!!]

The volatility of the returns of commodities futures for a 43-year period was “slightly below” the volatility of the S&P 500 for the same period. [!!!]

— The returns of commodities futures examined in the study were “triple” the returns for stocks in companies that produced those same commodities [!!!]

As soon as I heard about it, I went right out to get a copy of Rogers’ book to see what he had to say. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and immediately recommended that all of you buy it and read it too. But by then, Random House’s first edition had completely sold out and people were having trouble finding it in stores.

So, I asked Donna to go to work immediately to find copies, and we just received our first shipment at Four Star!

So get your copy now! This is MUST reading for all traders! I know there will be lots of discussion about this in our monthly Let’s Talk Trading Chats...

You’ll love Rogers’ take on why commodities are THE hot market right now — and for the next decade! And his book is filled with basic information on commodity trading, current market analysis, the global picture, and encouragement to traders old and new.

Hot Commodities is hot! And now it’s at Four Star! Get a copy and find out why Jim Rogers says:

“Commodities are so pervasive that, in my view you really cannot be a successsful investor in stocks, bonds, or currencies without understanding them... Commodities belong in every truly diversified portfolio... I believe that investing in commodities will represent an enormous opportunity for the next decade or so.”

I know you’ll find the book as fascinating as I do. And just think how great it will be to show to your friends and family who are still a little dubious about commodities!

In fact, why don’t you leave it out on your coffee table and let them see it for themselves!

PS:  From our first Let’s Talk Trading Chat of the New Year (January 11, 2005):

CHARTECH asks:  Hi everyone. Did any one see the Jim Rogers interview on Bloomberg this weekend? A recap of what he said is that Soybeans are (due to go up) 70%, copper 25-30%, silver 80%, sugar 80%, looking for oil to go to 90.00-150.00 at least a barrel. His words - it's going to knock your socks off. No one watching, thats what he said.

Ken Answers:  Hmmmm, CHARTECH, where have you heard THAT before...? Yes, and since you brought Jim Rogers up, did everyone get my "tip" to grab a copy of his new book, HOT COMMODITIES, if you find one? (The first edition already sold out, and you're definitely going to want a copy!) Thanks!
