Commodity stocks are on the bull run, prices of crude soared, raw materials followed the upward climb.

Like someone mentioned the "Joseph Cycle" is in the fat phase. This Joseph Cycle is a quotation from the Old Testament of the Holy Bible about an Israelite named Joseph. He was sold to the Egyptian as a slave by his brothers, but it turned out good for him.

The Pharoh had a dream of 7 fat cows by the river Nile with plenty of green grass to feed on, and 7 lean cows dying of thirst and hunger. Joseph interpreted the dream as 7 years of fortune and 7 years of want and lack.

The seven lean years have just passed and year 2006 began the other seven years of plenty. Do you agree with this perception? If you do, or not, please tell us your opinion and which counter or portfolio do you think will prosper and why.

Commodities will vary by country based on their normal use
of the products. But it's the money that will reflect the overall country's
success or decline.

The portfolio I believe that will give the best
performance is Money itself. There is nothing better, as one country does well
another will change negatively too. Everything is at play, all the markets
affect this very profitable FOREX trading. Before you had to be very rich or
very connected to make money in this manner but not anymore.

There are many online and local trading places where the
investor with a minimal capital can achieve great gains from watching every
countries money go up and down. This has become the most active investment of
the last decade with many new people entering every day.

If you have $1 Million to invest it is very easy to double
your investment in a shorter period of time than any other method. You may ask
why and I'll show you.

First, the FOREX is a market of all money, where you can
bet on a single country or many at a time. Whereas if you focus on oil or food
commodities each market will affect the other in a trend like manner. When a
country's economy is having troubles you can bet on that country's money being
devalued but it should not directly impact another country unless there is a big
deficit between those two nations.

By focusing on one country and its currency you are able
to ride the ups and downs and trade just on a small movement and continue making
money even in it's decline.

I recommend that everyone should look into this very
profitable opportunity. But be warned as in any venue you should be prepared
before you actually invest. Play some mock trading with the system and develop
your own strategy before you risk any money.

The Small investment in time will be worth the reward and
possible earnings.

Good luck
