Rating: 4.0/5 Stars
Rank: 271
Amazon.com 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
