Various Advantages of Investing in a Global World

Thunder roars through the sky, the rain and the wind whipped around me and I desperately wanted to be inside my little red Toyota so I did not have to hit me in my shoes soaked in rain.

But suddenly, a bright green siren logo overview of the mist on the other side of the car park. And I found myself beyond my car to the Starbucks tag.

When the song of the coffee mermaid calls for a caffeine addict like me, well ... not even a monsoon will not stop me.

And as an investor, this could make you consider the story of the demand for coffee supply if you were not already done.

It's an intelligent movement right now.

Yes, coffee has a gigantic story: it is one of the most volatile products to negotiate in the U.sand and World markets. Every year, feeling and price are shaped by the weather conditions of the essential regions. When the forecast is right, and there are no fungal dives that ravage crops, prices are lower.

But then, a critical area of ​​coffee growth is affected, for example, a devastating drought, such as Brazil - the largest global producer, representing more than a third of all coffee supplies - in 1986. and rockets. Coffee price. (There are additional volatility pilots, such as persistent currency fluctuations.)

1. In the end, this type of unpredictable and jacketed investor avoids investors.
2. But the fact is that the global demand for coffee should double by 2050.

Meanwhile, we are at the back of a three-year supply shortage because critical culture regions like Brazil continue to experiment with severe and erratic drought.

Finally, the genetic diversity of the Arabica coffee grain - the highest quality bean and the main consummation - is extremely low. This means that the plant can not adapt to changes in the environment quite quickly, highlighting the fragile seizure of culture on survival.

Not surprisingly, stocks are in difficulty. The International Coffee Organization expects coffee production to reaches a record of 153.9 million bags worldwide for the 2016-2017 season. But the application is scheduled for 155.1 million bags. It's a difference of 1.2 million bags.

Yes, much of this knowledge has been at the price of coffee. But it is clear that culture is facing an "existential crisis" as Ric Rhinehart, Executive Director of the Coffee Association specialty.

And it's the history of long-term supply demand.

I know you probably thinks: "It's all good and well, Jess. But what does this mean for short-term investors?"

The price of coffee heats. The consensual estimate is a rise of 5% of another for Arabica coffee prices over the next year. But it's being conservative.

As an expert indicates: "Short-term volatility should give us a two-digit gesture. It is not a gain of Slam-Dunk, huge, but the extreme feeling and forecasts of traders align for a solid gain. "

And there are two ways to invest in: the iPath Bloomberg Coffee in (NYSE: OJ) and the Coffee Ipaath Pure Beta (NYSE: Cafe), launched in 2008 and 2011, respectively. If you pick up one of them, cash after a gain of 10% or 20%.

With all that says, I think it's time for I can hunt my next cup of coffee. (Do not hope not in the rain.)
