We have no shame here at Notes. When legendary underground investor Jim Rogers makes a call we listen. And we listen good. Rogers correctly predicted the commodities rally in 1999. And between 1970 and 1980, when he partnered with George Soros at the Quantum Fund, his portfolio made gains of 4,200% when the S&P 500 rose by 47%. To say he’s a legend is an understatement.

Two of the top emerging markets are grappling with food production and costs – resulting in higher prices in the months to come. The outlook for China and Brazil could portend higher grain prices, giving investors a chance to cash in on a potential rebound.

Corn stocks are expected to plunge to a 13-year low, according to the US Department of Agriculture, setting up a great play in a little-known livestock ETF.
MarketWatch reports that corn stocks are set to suffer because US farmers are cutting back corn acreage this spring to grow more soybeans.
Corn futures for July delivery today closed down 1 cent at $6.2925 a bushel. The contract had ended Thursday’s session at $6.3025 a bushel, an all-time high.

A livestock ETF may not sound like a sexy investment, but it may be a great way to profit from high grain and livestock prices.
AP reports that grain prices ended mixed last week on the Chicago Board of Trade. However, livestock prices rose, with beef and pork futures climbing on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange — a strong indicator that a livestock ETF may be a great way to cash in on the ongoing surge in food prices.

Last night, I had dinner with Gary, an Iowa commodities broker. As we sat down to steaks, Gary told me two large hog businesses had gone under this week in Sioux City. “I saw the banker down at the farm counting livestock heads,” he said. “The banker in this town never leaves his office. It’s the first time he’s ever had to get s**t on his shoes.”

Remember the 1970s? “It was the decade of strikes, electricity shortages and piles of rotting rubbish on the street,” recalls a BBC report. Your editor is old enough to remember homework by candlelight, the three-day week and grim-faced militant union leaders such as Arthur Scargill barking pay demands every night on the TV news.
