| just to add to the pile (bad pun), our retirement plan advisor says more people (esp. retired) are adding commodities to their retirement funds just to get some income (using commodity funds for like 5% of total portfolio). The retired/near retired want some type of return and stocks/bonds haven't been doing it, while commodity funds have been returning some. He isn't advocating, just stating.
I wonder how pervasive this is and what total demand it adds to investment in commodities by those other than users. There are alot of boomers hitting retirement now. I know that large funds(like GS) have been involved for awhile. Bond funds aren't likely to return much for a couple years or more, so will the % of investment dollars increase in commodities-and will it exaggerate grain markets activity?
FWIW
