We are in a bull market for commodity stocks that will probably last for the next ten years. Several factors are involved in this process. First, we have the problem of growing demand for oil because of the expanding economies of India and China. We also have less easily obtained oil for the world to share. Thus, there are new markets for oil sands and deep water oil which were not practical when oil was cheap.
Companies that are involved in new oil are Suncor, Chevron, Statoil, and many others. We also have service and shipping companies that assist those who are finding new oil like Acergy, Frontline, and others.
Next, we have a growing demand from the East for basic materials such as copper, iron ore, uranium, and other commodities. This gives opportunities to companies like BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Freeport-McMoran, and others. So, any of these companies that are involved with commodities can be bought and sold many times over the next ten years while India and China are growing. The small gains that are made during each cycle will add up to a million dollars over time. There will also be many repeatable cycles because the stock market never stands still. The market sells off every month to different degrees whenever there is any bad news. Then, companies in StockTable1 can be bought on the dips and sold when the market comes back to previous levels each month.
