THE SOFT COMMODITY BOOM CONTINUES

Some call it the Bernanke effect, some blame the BRIC nations, while others blame rising soft commodity prices on the weakening USD.

JIM ROGERS clearly has been spot on as far as the boom in soft commodities goes. Food inflation is making headlines again!

Clearly some of the commodities may be rather overpriced at the moment. Meanwhile speculators and commodity hedge funds continue to build positions in this rather overbought sector. Caveat emptor - Watch this space!

SUGAR HIGH !

Sugar prices have been rallying!

Concerns of a rain affected crop and lower output from India are addig fuel to this sugar rally.

Sugar speculators would be well advised to take profit on investments in a phased manner. Low crop production and recent speculation may not be enough to support prices in the long run.

Always respect 'commodity cycles'. Enjoy the ride for now, but as with other investments, stick to the golden thumbrule
- BUY LOW & SELL HIGH!
