    People with an edge in commodities are people with a very very good understanding of economics and a lot of information about the markets, and can get in and out fast. People with an edge in stocks know that the company makes good products and has good management, and only needs to know maybe a little bit of economics. When you trade commodities, you ARE the company, you don't only own the company. It's a lot of work, but worthwhile if you really do have an edge.

    When considering an asset for investment, it makes some sense to zoom out and look at a long-term price chart. If the asset just goes up and down, it may take significant skill to make money trading it, and not be sensible to buy and hold the asset. If the asset goes up over long periods of time, like stock indices tend to do, buying may be more sensible, and you can trade around a core position if you are skillful.

  • @TheWeeklyCommodity
    @TheWeeklyCommodity Před 4 měsíci +3

    Well one hand it's just common sense like how he put it "Physical resources are finite" so it doesn't really matter the commodity is if you go long and you did so a few years ago you'd be a billionaire today.. Look at cocoa, cotton, oil, gold, silver etc they all have gone up. So if you bought low and early enough, then you couldn't go wrong if you tried.

    What Buffett never tells the public is that inflation is great for Berkshie Hathaway. Constantly churning profitable dollars day in and day out, decade after decade, with large inflation, is where the money is. He would never say it that way, but it has to be true. Munger once talked about inflation and mentioned an inflationary figure over the last 50 years or so, and said something to the effect of....has inflation been bad for investing/Berkshire Hathaway? I think not. Buffett loves money printing because he will outrun it by a few percent a year in the long run.
