Commodities

By | February 9, 2018

About the only thing that is left to buy is commodities. Even these, the price of which is now primarily determined by the overhead imposed on them. From taking them "out" to getting them to the consumer, tax after tax and overhead over overhead.  

Some of the commodities that might be hedge against the meltdown and the collapse of the dollar will be those that are produced heavily in the US, such as corn. And some of the commodities that cannot be manipulated price wise by the US are those that are produced outside the United States. 

Here are some of the commodities that might be considered and also the rank ot the US in theri production.

Corn                   1
Soybean            1

Sugarcane         not in the top 5 
Rice                   not in the top 5
Coffee                not in the top 5
