As you can see, sugar has taken a beating. Since I consider myself leaning toward a contrarion (sp?)/ value "investor" stance, I had to look up the reason(s) for sugars decline. What are they? Well google "investing in sugar" to find a ocean liner full of info. Some say sugar is crashing others say its only a trough between peaks. I think it all depends on China (doesn't everything depend on China now-a-days) and the burgeoning middle class' taste for the sweet stuff. For me, I will keep up with the idea of investing in sugar or a derivative investment vehicle for sugar, since I'm looking for a job and this gives me something to model (excel spreadsheets, not what I look like in sugar). FWIW I would GLADLY pay $0.05 - $0.10 more for my Coke if it had real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
PS - Notice that the USD is beating Gold YTD. Hum very interesting.
Disclosure: At the time and date of this posting I have no positions in sugar.
