Commodities Price
Commodities experts expect ethanol mandates to double the price of corn. Is it worth it?
This will also dramatically affect the price of meat, as a significant proportion of livestock in this country is corn-fed.
KevinStud, good answer. I agree wholeheartedly that we need to look to the free market for the answer to this one. But we don’t have to rely on the “experts” to forecast the price of corn. It’s skyrocketing already.
Trolling, I would agree with that analysis if using ethanol did, in fact, allow us to ignore the middle east. But those dictators will still control a valuable commodity and wield the power to purchase more and more powerful weapons with their wealth. Can’t ignore them with or without ethanol.
Newbie, good question. But what if farmers increase production to meet the demand and then the subsidies are deemed ineffective and discontinued? Or (perhaps worse), what if they are deemed ineffective and the government continues to subsidize the corn production anyway to avoid alienating the agri-business lobby?
The price of tortillas in Mexico (where many people are very, very poor) has already increased 4 fold! Ethanol from corn is an economic joke. Some researchers have concluded that it takes more energy to produce ethanol than the energy yielded from ethanol. If it was truly viable, government would not need to stick its nose (subsidies) in the business.

China and India s fast paced growth has blown away even the most optimistic estimates from top analysts. And the two fastest-growing economies in history have driven the price of resources to all-time highs. Despite the short-lived recent correction, commodities are in line for a long-term bull run ready to charge for another eight to 10 years. That s exactly why Kevin Kerr, a gentleman uniquely qualified to help investors turn enormous profits in commodities, created this book. In A Maniac Commodity Trader s Guide to Making a Fortune in the Market, Kerr shares the insights and techniques that he s honed through 18 years of experience on the trading floor and in the pits right next to such legends as Paul Tudor Jones. With this book, Kerr demystifies the language and ritual of the commodity markets and explains the secrets that only floor traders and select investors know secrets that will help to allay many of the traditional fears of these dynamic markets, and offer clear-cut guidance on how to enter them with confidence, make the right trading decisions, and build significant wealth. Kevin Kerr (Baltimore, MD) is a lifelong student of commodities and resource trading. He currently is the editor of Resource Trader Alert and coeditor of Outstanding Investments for Agora Publications.

Commodifying Everything: Relationships of the Market $146.08 Commodification refers most explicitly to the activities of turning things into commodities and of commercializing that which is not commercial in essence. The mass marketing of pets, the rise of the coffin industry, the conversion of preacher into salesmen, and the globalization of Taleggio cheese are some of the exciting but surprising topics in this volume that show how friendship, death, spirituality, and artisanship all have a price after being commodified. This unique collection of essays is a fascinating take on creating consumer products and consumer identities when what’s for sale goes well beyond the thing itself. It will be a course-in-a-box for instructors who want to teach their students about commodification. |
