    The closest I was thinking of was adding an agricultural fund, based on the premise that there will be an increasing demand for food (decided against this now as I want other funds over this at the moment). You thinking of investing directly in rice then?

    Water is probably better if you can find it traded anywhere, afterall people can live for weeks without food, but water, well thats a different thing. How about human embryos, Elton John allegedly paid $1m for his, look at doing a straddle.

    There is an investing truism/aphorism that food prices never rise 3 years running - higher prices draw in more growers and use of alternatives in that time.

    I realise that this is probably waaay over your head.......so I'll keep it simple.

    Trading Rice or any other Agriculture Commodity on the long side has been difficult and dangerous over the last few years, especially via ETF's because of the cost of Contango (which is amplified by using ETF's)

    BTW I noticed that Brent Crude had gone into another backwardation situation the other day.

    Backwardation is the name for the condition that the market quotes a lower price for a more distant delivery date, and a higher price for a nearby delivery date. The opposite condition, contango, exists when the market quotes a higher price for a more distant delivery date, and a lower price for a nearby delivery date.


    In financial terminology, backwardation means a downward sloping forward curve (as in an inverted yield curve). A backwardation starts when the difference between the forward price and the spot price is less than the cost of carry, or when there can be no delivery arbitrage because the asset is not currently available for purchase.

    Seems like deliberate obfuscation to me;)
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    The average person doesn't understand financial terminology.

    In schools they never teach kids about finance. They just teach kids to save their money in the bank.

    They seem to make the stock markets and anything to do with finance as difficult as possible to understand, with jargon.

    They don't want the average person to know too much.

    Meanwhile the entire stock market is a giant Scam, corrupt to the core with inside trading.
