Nearing the end of June Ole Hansen reviews the performance of commodities in the year to date. Cotton, corn, silver and energy lead the way while ...

You do not have enough money to trade oats,corn,oil,gold,cotton, etc., in fact it's doubtful you have enough to trade one of them! If you did, why would you be on here?

Considering that corn seems to now be tied to the price of oil, everything else is tied to corn (corn is taking away acres from almost everything else and soy:corn should be priced 2-2:5:1), and oil may be pushed up by speculation, are you worried what a sudden drop in oil prices may do to the price of everything else(corn, soy, cotton, etc)? Especially now that fertilizer and rents have gone up? Wheat seems to be one thing that has been in shorter supply due to droughts worldwide and lower ending stocks.

We grow 90% of our own food on our own farm. We also have about a two years worth of food storage now.

We live completely debt free, except for the mortgage, and the few bills we have not yet done away with, like electric.

We will be paying of the mortgage by half in one lump sum this October (we've owned it for 5 years, if that gives you a hint as to how serrious we are about living debt free).

We are frugal, but not at all cheap. Few people understand the difference. We always buy the best QUALITY items we can. For example, my wheelbarrel cost about $120 over 10 years ago. My neighbor continues to purchase the $39.95 pieces of junk ones every year. Mine still looks like new, with zero repairs. They purchase one every year. They have now spent at least $399.95 on wheelbarrels in 10 years. My cost is now down to $12 per year. That's what I mean by frugal, but not cheap.

We also never buy trendy. We buy what WE like, and we buy quality.

Our farm will soon be producing it's own water, power, heat, and even fuel to run our trucks and tractors (via rapeseed), as well as the food we eat.

We invest ourselves in our friends and family, NOT trips to amusement parks and titanic size TV's.

Because everything is tied to the price of soy, and ESPECIALLY corn, we have done our very best to divorce ourselves from any products that contain corn.

We continue to hone our skills and learning which makes us independent of the outside world. To this end, we will be building our new home from the ground up, ourselves.

The only bills we expect to have in another five years will be the internet, cell phones, and taxes, because we simply cannot escape them. The internet, and cell phones are simply luxuries we enjoy (did you notice I said nothing about TV?).

We protect ourselves by being independant, and self sufficient.

Use an ETF (exchange traded fund). More likely called an ETC (Exchange traded commodity) or trade the futures. Or spread bet.
