I’d like to focus today’s segment on the markets that typically see heightened activity during the summer months, due to the fact that it’s their prime growing season. Specifically, that means the grains and orange juice markets.

Today, I want to focus on specific markets that heat up during the summer thanks to the less-than-reliable nature of weather.

China is hungry…and gets hungrier every day. Satisfying hunger requires fertilizer…lots of it. Think: Potash. China is not only getting hungrier, it is also developing a taste for the good life. Protein consumption always increases as a population’s wealth increases.

The next president will face soaring foreclosures, insolvency at Freddie and Fannie, street protests against foreclosures, and a growing number of bank failures. It’s not too hard to guess what’s likely to happen next, is it?

Soft commodities are now the best-performing sub-set of the commodity bull market. It’s easy to see why. The world’s supply is withering.

Back among the worriers…the United States is headed toward a recession, says the IMF… A look back at a ‘great’ war…Lehman Bros. liquidate three of their funds. Someone you definitely want as your next-door neighbor…and more!

Check out a chart showing the Q1 2008 action in the CRB Index, a widely tracked basket of 19 leading commodities, versus the S&P 500 from the beginning of the first quarter through Tuesday. The CRB Index is up 11% during that time frame. Meanwhile, the S&P is down over 7%. OUCH! Which would you rather invest in?
