Jim Rogers : Commodity Prices Rise and Fall







Commodity Prices Rise and Fall (from Street Smarts, 2013)
"The cure for high prices is high prices. It always works ... The truth is that commodities are actually simpler to figure out than stocks. Nobody can understand IBM, not even the chairman. IBM has hundreds of thousands of factors -- employees, products, parts, suppliers, competitors, governments, balance sheets, and unions -- that it has to deal with. Cotton, by contrast, is pretty straightforward. All you have to know about cotton is this: Is there too much cotton or too little cotton? Cotton does not care who the chairman of the Federal Reserve is. The head of IBM has to know and care about such things. Cotton: Is there too much or too little? Now, figuring that out may not be easy at all, but the question itself is simple, and in the end it is the only question with which you have to be concerned."
