My Daily Blog is at: investorandtrader.blogspot.com We’ve been discussing commodity futures in recent blog entries. We learned what a commodity is. We learned that commodities are traded in contracts, and those contracts have specific sizes, and contract months. We talked about leverage and lock-limits. We started talking a bit about the nature of the Commodity Futures markets and that they are zero sum. We’ve started to discuss some of the “Players” in this zero sum game, with the Small Speculators.

Investing in Gold – Is This A Good Idea?
There are ads all over the place right now claiming gold is the ultimate investment. Let’s dig down to the facts.
Like any commodity or “real” asset, valuation of gold is straightforward. It’s purely supply and demand — nothing more. But commodities are different from most conventional investment assets. Stocks, bonds, or real estate give you cash flows worth something now and in the future when interest rates are factored in. Commodities just exist. They have no cash flows, so the price is only based on what others think they’re worth at a given time.
