    Commodities are an interesting investment, to learn it is easy, to master it will take a lifetime.

    It's like the sports book. You pay to enter the arena and play. You bet on a team based on your evaluation of the game, and you either are against the spread or for it. When you pay into it you pay a 10% commision. If your product is in demand, you'll likely profit more. But you still pay the commision. If you lose your bet you lose everything.

    That is why it is good to invest in several different "commodities" to hedge your investment like betting on the other team at half time knowing you are going to lose your inital bet. either way you lose 10% if you win, and lose all if you lose.

    it is when the market is taking on risk an no one is investing in safe haven commodities

    next year they predict alot of risk so gold will retrace all its gains during the recession

    If you buy and hold gold and silver right now, I'm quite sure at some point within the next two years you will be able to sell at a profit.

    I have been a buyer of gold and silver for almost 10 years now and yes even at these prices you will make a nice profit in the coming years...especially when the currency crisis hits soon!
