At any rate, I believe there are great things in store again for 2009 ― the entire world concentrating on global economic problems and messing with natural market forces could create a lot of unintended consequences. And commodity traders should be able to take advantage.

Its been discussed here before that small caps stocks have a better and above all FASTER recovery rate in a recession. We saw it in 89/90, we saw it with the tech bubble and I believe we will see it now.

This correlation between stock price recovery and commodities demonstrates a rebuilding of economic confidence. By the time most investors get comfortable enough to get back at it, a large move will have already been made.

There will be plenty of opportunities this year with commodities. After all, it all comes back to commodities, with depressed steel and copper leading the way. Either that or the world will just stop to eatring, heating their homes and driving their vehicles every single day.
