Why Smart Investors Are Snapping Up Commonity Related Stocks Now

Our unique trading advisory service specializing in commodity, energy and precious metals stocks began operations is delivering trades like these…

Dear Investor,

You know it's "official" when The Wall Street Journal starts writing about it:

Battered Just Weeks Ago, Resources Shake Off Global Fears

That was the headline for an article on February 1st describing how commodities have rebounded sharply from the punishing declines they suffered in the final quarter of 2011.

In January, the London Metal Exchange index rose 11 percent -- the biggest January gain since 2006 for this important indicator of manufacturing sector strength.

Precious metals surged as well: gold was up 11%, and silver’s gains were even more -- 19%.


The cause for the surge? The Journal said it was a matter of "buyers gain[ing] confidence that Europe‘s debt problems won’t cascade out of control and destroy demand."

Others asserted that the Federal Reserve’s recent pledge to keep U.S. interest rates at a record low through late 2014 helped boost prices.

Both reasons may be relevant in explaining the latest short-term market action in commodities. But in truth, there’s something far bigger and more powerful at work here – and investors who ignore it will miss out on the profit opportunity of the century.

That "something bigger" essentially comes down to

A World Ravenous for Natural Resources

That description also comes from The Wall Street Journal, this time in an article on the proposed merger of the world’s largest commodities trading company, Glencore International, and one of the biggest global mining firms Xstrata.

This merger clearly signals the increasing importance, scale and profitability of the resource sector. As The Financial Times observed in connection with the deal, "commodities [now] …emerge as crucial for the global economy as demand and prices rise on the back of the industrialization of emerging countries."

We’re far from surprised by these developments, as we started predicting them back in the early 90’s. And today, more than ever, we’re convinced that…

We are entering a new era in which rising
resource scarcity, demand and prices
are an unstoppable global trend

My name is Stephen Leeb, Founder and Research Chairman of The Leeb Group, which publishes financial newsletters and manages trading advisory services.

I’m also the author of eight best-selling books for investors, and I make frequent national media appearances on Fox News, ABC, CNBC, Bloomberg TV and CNN networks, among other venues.

I have studied and invested in financial markets for close to four decades now. Along the way I’ve become a recognized authority on stocks and commodities, gaining a reputation for identifying market-changing events and big trends (what they call ‘macro-economic trends’ in the financial community) long before they happen.

Dr. Stephen Leeb

My accurate predictions have included:

    • $100-a-barrel oil

      I made this call back in 2004, when the price was under $40. It’s documented in my best-selling book published that year, The Oil Factor: Protect Yourself—and Profit—from the Coming Energy Crisis.

    • the earlier rise of the Dow above 4000

      This prediction was made in 1984, when it hovered around 800. The guardians of conventional wisdom said I must be out of my mind – but I had the last laugh.

    • the collapse of the dot.com bubble

      See my book Defying the Market, published in 1999.

    • the current bull market in precious metals

      Another prediction from Defying the Market, in which I recommended gold as a "must-have" investment.

    • the beginning of the era of resource and energy scarcity early in the 21st century.

      This has been the major focus of my work since the late 90’s, something I’ve studied and written about extensively in all my books since that time.

    Besides Defying the Market and The Oil Factor, which I mentioned above, I’ve also written The Coming Economic Collapse (2006), Game Over (2009) and my latest book, Red Alert (2011), which describes how China’s incredibly large and voracious appetite for resources to fuel its growth will inevitably threaten the American way of life. Very few of our political and business leaders fully realize the coming impact of this phenomenon.
     

    The new and truly unprecedented era of resource scarcity is caused by a combination of two enormous world-historic factors:

    1. The explosive growth of the emerging economies of Brazil, India, Russia, and most prominently, China.

    2. The "peak resources" phenomenon – peak oil, peak coal, peak copper …virtually “peak everything” when it comes to materials and resources. I broadly define “peak” as the point at which increases in global production (supply) of a resource can no longer satisfy increases in world-wide demand.

    Since I have been intensively studying, tracking and investing in the resources sector for the past 15 years, I’m not surprised when I read statements like the one just released by Burkhard P. Varnholt, Chief Investment Officer of Bank Sarasin & Cie AG in Switzerland, who asserted that…

    "Commodity prices could double in five years due to resource shortages"

    Neither was I shocked to learn about the conclusions of a report issued by Goldman Sachs a few months ago:
    "Copper prices may be
    'unimaginably' high in three years"

    Indeed, at The Leeb Group my team and I have been preparing for this situation for quite some time. And one of the ways we have prepared is to establish a unique trading advisory service that specializes in commodity-related stocks called…

    Leeb's Real World Investing

    It’s a dynamic service designed for investors who care about risk and asset protection as well as maximizing their gains, but probably don’t have the time or resources to do all the deep research required to find the best of the best on their own..

    That’s where my team of seasoned experts and world-class analysts step into the picture. These market professionals will let you know about the very top opportunities in commodity, energy, gold and precious metals stocks--what to buy, when to buy it, and when to sell for maximum profit.

    Just to be clear about an important point, I did say "stocks." This service is not about trading in commodity futures, which is a particularly risky, complex and high-stakes game that’s best avoided by most investors.

    Rather, the resource-related stocks that Leeb’s Real World Investing recommends can be bought and sold through your regular broker like any other stock – yet still enable you to earn significant profits from the run up in resources in a far less risky way.

    In the final analysis this service is about investments that can not only make you money now, but keep you financially secure for years to come by capitalizing on major trends.

    Our Model Portfolio and Email Action Alerts make it simple to follow and easy to understand, and we stay on top of our recommendations so you don’t have to watch them minute by minute.

    And the results speak for themselves... as showin in the trades listed above.

    But there’s something else you need to know about this new age of resource scarcity:

    Besides the opportunities for profit, it also involves a significant danger.

    The Threat of Mega-Inflation

    Yes – a big part of our strategy lays out a course for you to safeguard your assets and even build them up further by capitalizing on the increasing inflation we expect ahead.

    It’s inevitable for a number of reasons.

    The increase in commodity prices is certainly one of them – which we are already seeing.

    Consider the fact that despite almost non-existent growth in GDP in the U.S. and Eurozone today, Brent crude oil is still currently trading in the triple digits!

    Can you imagine what the price of oil would be like if there were any semblance of healthy growth in the developed world? It would surely be approaching – if not surpassing – its record 2008 highs.

    But higher prices for resources aren’t the only factor behind the looming threat of greater inflation.

    Another is our Federal Reserve Board, which in no uncertain terms recently indicated its willingness to tolerate more inflation, along with a readiness to embark on a new round of “quantitative easing,” i.e., institute a QE3 in the interests of stimulating the economy and higher employment.

    This means printing more money and devaluing the dollar further – both of which may very well fuel inflation to a level we haven’t seen since the disastrous decade of the 70’s. That’s why…

    Gold (and silver and other precious metals)
    occupy one of the cornerstones of our strategy

    As I described earlier, I’ve been a strong proponent of investing in gold since the late 90’s -- to the considerable satisfaction of the investors who have followed my advice. My book Defying the Market in 1999 not only warned readers about the impending bursting of the dotcom bubble, but also gave them one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever provided to investors: "Buy Gold!"

    From the perspective of what’s happening with gold today, that recommendation might not seem like a big deal. But at that time, it wasn’t a popular or easy call to make.

    The reason: between the summer of 1996 and the summer of 1998 the yellow metal lost 30 percent of its value, and the average gold stock did even worse, declining by about 50%.

    But I was convinced that we were going to see it come back strongly – and boy, did it ever!

    In 1999 the average price of an ounce of gold was $279.

    And if you held it continuously since then, your investment would have increased in value every year except one (in 2000 the price dipped less than 3%). But then in 10 out of the next 11 years you would have enjoyed double-digit year-over-year increases in the value of your holdings.

    Here’s a chart showing prices and gains year by year:

    The Run Up in Gold, 1999 to the Present

    Today, on the day I'm writing this, gold's price per ounce is over $100 higher than the 2011 average, at $1,683. That's a 503% gain since I first recommended the yellow metal in 1999 as an essential investment for every investor's portfolio!

    For two generations gold
    has outperformed the S&P 500!

    This is hardly a modern phenomenon, as gold has been prized as a store of value for five millennia.

    Traditionally regarded as an inflation hedge (see the chart below for gold’s performance in the inflation-ravaged 70’s) when we look deeper we see that more accurately it’s really a hedge against the debasement of paper currencies.

    Thus gold functions more like a currency than a commodity in this respect. This essentially monetary character of gold also stems from the fact that unlike other precious metals such as silver or platinum, it has relatively few industrial uses.

    The Run Up in Gold, 1999 to the Present

    If you believe as we do that at a certain point inflation is likely to break-out on a wide basis, the yellow metal will be one of the few games in town worth playing.

    Of course, the same goes for other precious metals, along with those increasingly scarce commodities:

    Silver… Palladium… Copper… Zinc… Lead… Nickel… Aluminum and the Heavy Rare Earths Elements that figure so prominently in technologies for exploiting renewable wind and solar energy. And Oil (for as long as it can still be produced), too.

    Today the concept of “Peak Oil” – the idea that we are heading towards a point where world oil production irreversibly declines--is no longer a fringe belief. Of even more concern, we face the very same problem with other valuable resources, too.

    This report gives you a clear and easy to understand briefing on this phenomenon as it affects…

    • Peak Oil
    • Peak Coal
    • Peak Copper
    • Silver
    • Rare Earth Elements
    Huge Profits From Resource Scarcity: Seven Top Investment Picks
    The latter two resources are especially important as indispensable in the technologies required for a successful transition to alternative energy (notably wind and solar). But they, too, present situations where demand is eclipsing supply.

    The report not only describes the conditions creating resource scarcity, it gives you specific investments that will enable you to profit – and protect yourself – from its inevitable consequences.

    For example, you’ll get the names of two oil stocks which are currently offering outstanding returns through a combination of expanding oil reserves and production. And they are very well positioned to benefit from increased oil prices in the future.

    You’ll also learn the names of other potential high-profit investment opportunities, for each of the resources the Report covers.

    Don’t miss out on this extremely valuable guide to successfully navigating a world beset by increasing resource scarcity.
