Frank (Holmes) expects copper – which has gained 400% in the past five years and now sells for $3.75 per pound – to hit $8 to $10 in the coming years. Frank is the CEO and chief investment officer of publicly traded U.S. Global Investors, one of the top commodity fund managers in the world. […]
Great job by Dan Denning and the Rude Awakening crew on today’s article. They make the case that a steep decline in agriculture is unlikely. Only a decrease in demand would trigger that, and that does not appear likely at this point in time.

“I think I made a mistake” Pickens humbly told CNBC yesterday, referring to his prediction that oil would drop in the 1st quarter. He sees oil “hanging around here” in the 2nd quarter, and above $100/barrel in the 2nd half of the year. He is also bullish on natural gas, citing it’s relative cheapness compared […]
