Commodity Companies Index (CCI) Up 214% YTD!

Up until now investors, analysts and newsletter writers have relied on the price performance of the commodities themselves (such as gold, silver, crude oil, etc.), the Reuters CRB Commodity Index or the HUI, XAU, GDM or CDNX indices to determine the health, performance and trends in commodities.

Fortunately, for all concerned, a new index has been introduced that provides a much more all-encompassing mix of companies associated with a wide variety of commodity-related products. It is called the Commodity Companies Index (CCI).

Unlike the large-cap centric HUI, XAU and GDM indices and the nano-cap centric and less commodity-oriented CDNX index, the CCI…

To meet the growing needs of investors interested in investing in the broader, yet small-, micro- and nano-cap skewed, precious metals mining sector (i.e. the ‘juniors’)  4 new indices have come on the scene lately to wide acclaim. They are the Gold and Silver Companies Index (GSCI) and the Precious Metals Warrants Index (PMWI) and 2 all encompassing commodity-related company indices (i.e. also including commodities other than just gold and silver) the Commodity Companies Index (CCI) and the Commodity Warrants Index (CWI).

These new indexes are ideal supplements or even replacements for the HUI and the XAU which only track the…

Can Gold and Silver Equities Expect +5,000% Returns Again?

With what has happened in the world of late and what will be unfolding in the next 5 years or so those few investors who fully understand the impact the current economic situation is going to have on future inflation, the USD, interest rates, the stock market, physical gold and silver and gold and silver stocks and warrants in particular are going to be in the unique position of being the benefactors of currently unimaginable returns and wealth. All they need do, as I like to say, is “Just prepare and prosper!”

Back in the mid- to late 1970’s, as gold…

Merrill Lynch Asia (Bank of America) strategists Sadiq Currimbhoy, Arik Reiss, and Jacky Tang suggest that the S&P 500 could soar another 40% by December 2010 before it collapses completely based on a unique comparison with the Nikkei 225. (Before you reject this possibility out of hand please read the entire article.)

Were the S&P 500 to indeed rise by 40% then, by extension, precious metals stocks (as represented by the HUI and GDM indices) and their associated warrants (as represented by our proprietary PreciousMetalsWarrants Index) would top out at record highs as would gold and silver.

Uncanny Relationship…

Worried about Future Inflation? Don’t Be. Just Prepare and Prosper

By: Lorimer Wilson

As the table below depicts, commodity related stocks and their associated warrants are wasting little time recouping the major losses they incurred in 2008 and are already up 30% and 74%, respectively, YTD, even though they are currently suffering from the summer doldrums.

What is most impressive is that all this is being accomplished without inflation (we are presently experiencing marginal deflation), without a major increase in the price of gold (it is only up 3% YTD and down 4% over the past month) or other commodities and without a declining U.S. dollar In fact, the USD is actually up 5.3% YTD vis-à-vis the Canadian…
