Description:
A proven method for capitalizing on commodity market trends-without taking giant risksIn Trader Vic on Commodities, Wall Street legend Victor Sperandeo advocates an approach which entails investing in both up-trends and down-trends in a variety of commodity, currency, and interest rate markets. Based on a tool he developed, called the Diversified Trend Indicator, Sperandeo's approach allows investors to generate superior returns when commodity and currency markets are trending. The approach provides a natural hedge to the stock market and is particularly profitable during periods of rising inflation. With commodities again surging, Sperandeo's approach offers a very attractive alternative to the stock market. Trader Vic on Commodities provides a great deal of historical research and demonstrates how his methodology allows investors to benefit from commodity trends with relatively low risk.
