Pluto Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was actually had spandau ballet ringin out in the office as it happenned - Everyone will twig tonight when they watch the news! - Up she goes again! The Dow really wants to crash. I can just sense it. The market wants another 200B, just like the other day. Infact, let's do 500B so it at least lasts a week.

Gatesy Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Fantastic interview from Jim Rogers. Get this man on the BBC news! Some interesting points that he did and didn't mention.. 1) One for Bubb here: Jim talks about holding the commodity itself rather than shares. He quoted a figure of 300% better than holding the shares. I always thought that shares give you leverage on the commodity itself, and thus the greater return. This is why the good doctor holds gold shares more than physical gold? I've just finished reading JR's Hot Commodities. He is referring to a Yale study called "Facts and Fantasies About Commodity Futures" which found that between 1962 and 2003 " the cumulative performance of futures has been triple the cumulative performance of 'matching' equities". He basically uses this to support his idea that trading the futures themselves rather than commodity related equities is less risky and higher return .ie. by not being exposed to the 1000's of variable risks related to companies own trading and financial positions you get better returns. You'd certainly have to dig out the original study to assess whether you believed they had an appropriate basket of equities I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
