Investing in Resources: How to Profit from the Outsized Potential and Avoid the Risks
If only you could travel back in time and buy shares of Apple, or invest in 1950's California real estate... you'd be rich! Investing in How to Profit from the Outsized Potential and Avoid the Risks details how history and fortunes will be made in another extraordinarily rare investment opportunity that's happening right now. The opportunity that will enable today's savvy investor to realize incredible long-term profits is in commodities, and here's why.
Since the early 1960's, the world's population has doubled. At the same time, the amount of resources available to meet the demand created by China and India's growing desire for everything from cars, computers, and cell phones to TVs, washing machines, and designer handbags has fallen short. As the supply of raw materialsùbase metals, gold, oil, natural gas, agriculture, and waterùis increasingly constrained and limited supplies fought over, manic buying will push up prices exponentially. This is the Super Cycle. And this is what Investing in Resources is all aboutùshrinking supply and increasing demand, and how tomorrow's fortunes are being made today by those investors prescient enough to capitalize on this new reality.
Rarely comes an investment opportunity so simple, so obvious, and so enormous. In 2006, The Economist concluded, "the era of cheap raw materials is over." In the future, wars will be fought over the world's finite resources. Already, companies and countries alike are scrambling to secure them. You can live in the past and imagine what might have been, or you can invest in your future. Regardless, history will be made. Which side of history will you be on?
