I think hard commodities are done for a few years.
When you say 'hard' what do you mean?
MEtals?
WHy do u think hard commodities are done ?
1. Alternative Energy (increased public awareness, investment and government subsidies)
[FONT="]Yes. But your emerging markets should be South Korea, Brazil, Taiwan, Israel, etc. (i.e export-oriented countries, rather than consumer countries)[/FONT]2. Emerging Markets (a massive secular trend upwards in these countries to more prosperous consumer-oriented societies)
[FONT="]I don’t think big pharma companies can ever become de facto monopolies the way Inter, Microsoft, SAP or Adobe have, and, in the last analysis, healthcare is paid for by governments and insurance companies who are monopolies or quasi-monopolies, and who want to keep healthcare costs down,. But, you may be right on low valuations at present, but more for a short term value play.3. Pharmaceuticals (many of these these are at very low valuations
[FONT="]I[/FONT]’ve gone for soft commodities, and I’d forget about water, as there’s a limit to the upside. Governments may let their citizens go dirty, but they won’t let their citizens go thirsty.[FONT="]4. Natural Resources[/FONT]
Hi Askar,
It looks like you refer to rumours not to the facts, in fact that Warren Buffet invests in undervalued companies and such ones are mush more on emerging markets rather that developed. There are many private companies with good management and financial results in different sectors not just in gas and oil, it is very dificalt to find similar companies on the developed market, that why I do focus at emrging markets
Kind Regards
BTW are you the Croesus from the Irish Times?

To the guys who believe hard commodities are not the way to go. Do you include gold in this? Many articles seem to suggest gold acts independently to other commodities to a certain degree and should always be included as part of a balanced portfolio.
