Financial Education: Commodities

Commodities are an area of investing that can be very profitable. It also can be one where people lose their shirt.

One thing that I like to stress in this realm is that commodities tend to be cyclical. They move in cycles that can often be times. This is an arena where supply/demand are really all that matters. It is this "fundamental" which people make their decisions.

In this video I discuss some of the basics of commodities as well as what one can do to reduce some risk. Bear in mind that I believe if there is long term price elevation, it makes a commodity susceptible to technological advancement.
