Commodities and population growth
2009-07-28 14:00:00 "Population growth will likely spur increased demand commodities," says ETF expert Doug Fabian. In Making Money Alert he looks at PowerShares DB Commodity (NYSE: DBC)."World population growth trends suggest massive numbers of new global citizens on the way -- citizens that are going to require essentials such as food, clothing and shelter.

The index commodities are crude oil (35%), heating oil (20%), aluminum (12.5%), gold (10%), corn (11.25%) and wheat (11.25%)."With economies around the world struggling to recover from a global recession, commodity prices as represented by DBC have been kept well below their long-term, 200-day moving avera...
Financials and Commodities to pull ahead?
2009-06-07 16:11:00 2400 remains a stubborn resistance for STI. It looked as if we are going to turn ugly from here but the market remains resilient.

2008-06-07 16:17:00 Crude oil for July delivery traded at an all-time high of $139.12 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange today (Friday), after the U.S. dollar nosedived on speculation that the European Central Bank would raise its key lending rate and on worries that a bigger-than-expected spike in unemployment meant the U.S. economy was far weaker than feared. For the day, July crude oil soared $10.75, or 8.4%, to close at an all-time high of $138.54. For the week, the contract climbed 8.8% on the NYMEX.

Cashing in on Commodities: Lumber & Paper Mills Struggle as Timber Stands T
2008-05-26 15:48:00 There?s a classic squeeze going on in the timber markets right now. As you might expect, the U.S housing slump is reducing demand for finished lumber. Meanwhile, timber, pulpwood, and paper prices are rising worldwide - but curiously, profit margins are eroding. What?s up with that? The global commodity boom has created a supply/demand price imbalance between the four distinct industry sectors that rely on timber as a raw material. In fact, that imbalance is a huge mismatch. And savvy investors may be able to wring substantial returns from the winner. You see, timber companies have shrewdly maintained monopoly-like control of…SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Cashing in on Commodities: Lumber & Paper Mills Struggle as Timber Stands Tall", url: "http://jutiagroup.com/2008/05/-26/cashing-in-on-commodities-lu-mber-paper-mills-struggle-as-ti-mber-stands-tall/" });

Cashing in on Commodities: The Short- and Long-Term Solutions to the Growin
2008-05-20 16:51:00 Crude oil is grabbing the headlines but it’s coal and uranium that together provide nearly half the world’s power. So it follows that as worldwide demand for electricity skyrockets - as it will - the shares of companies that provide these two key fuels also will take flight. And they make for almost-perfect partners. That’s because coal represents the world’s short-term solution to the problem of a rapidly climbing global demand for power. It’s plentiful, it’s cheaper than other available alternatives, and a big percentage of the world’s power plants are set up to burn this fossil fuel. Uranium, on the other hand, represents the long-term solution to potential fuel shortages - and it offers a solution to global warming, to boot. Uranium-powered commercial nuclear plants are cheap to operate, can run a long time, and when operated correctly cause little pollution. The New ‘Black Gold’ India, a growing economic and industrial power, relies on coal for nearly 70% of ...
