Do you feel that you don’t have enough time to learn about investing or keep up with the fast changes in the financial markets?  Do you wish you had a friend who could simply walk you thru the steps of investing in some exciting opportunities with little time and money?  

Whether you are new to investing or would like to enhance your existing investments using a new strategy, there are lucrative markets today that anyone can take advantage of.  

There's an ongoing bull market in commodities driven by rising global demand and historic low supplies. Every investor should know about this booming market.  Why?  Commodities investing offers many advantages over investing in just stocks or bonds (more on that later).  

There are investment opportunities beyond just investing in stocks or bonds that smart investors have and continue to take advantage of.  

Did you know that commodity prices surged in 2007?  Many commodities made record returns. The S&P GSCI commodity index, for example, rose 32.7% in 2007.  In contrast, the S&P 500, a popular benchmark for U.S. stocks, had a modest return of only 5.5%.   The contrast in returns between stocks and commodities in recent years serves as a reminder to investors of the value of diversifying. 

Platinum prices rose over 34% in 2007. Wheat and rice prices hit record highs as a result of global demand and low supplies.  Soybean prices soared to a 34-year high while corn prices jumped to an 11 year-high.

According to the Financial Times, many investment analysts believe we are in the beginning of unprecedented future price increases for commodities.  Agricultural commodities in 2007, for example, enjoyed their best returns in almost 30 years.   

Demand for commodities is being driven largely by emerging economies such as China and India.  And, there is just not enough supplies to go around.  HIgh demand and low supplies  means rising prices.  Even if global demand eases, low supplies make commodities an attractive investment now and over the next many years.  Jim Rogers, a world renowned expert in commodities, wrote in his 2004 book Hot Commodities that he belived commodities prices would continue to rise for at least fifteen years. 

Often people shy away from investing in commodities because they think it's complicated to invest in them or they believe it takes a lot of money to get started.  That used to be true but no longer is.  You see, there have been big changes over the last few years in the investment industry that now give any investor easy and low cost ways to invest in natural resources such as wheat, coffee, oil, gold and platinum.  You no longer need to have a large account balance or a trader to start investing in commodities.  

But there's far more to successful investing than just discovering great money-making opportunities.  All the money-making knowledge and investment strategies that you’ll ever learn will be of limited benefit to you unless you’re prepared for wealth on the inside----unless you invest in yourself in a certain way. 

Let me tell you my story

I’m Mary Rivas.  Prior to starting my own business, I worked in the money management industry for over 15 years.  I served as vice president of an investment management firm, which manages over $30 billion in assets for high-net-worth investors and financial institutions. 

Fortunately, I’m now in a position to share my expertise to any one who desires to learn---regardless of a person’s net worth.  I no longer sell any investment products nor do I represent any firm or any specific investment products.  I provide objective information to help people make the most informed decisions possible. 

Providing a unique solution to common challenges...

Over the past decade and a half, I've discovered that people often want to invest but don't know how to get started or they often have misperceptions about investing that keep them stuck. More recently, I've learned that people want to invest in more than just stocks and bonds because they see traditional investments, such as U.S. stocks, as having limited potential for high returns in the future.  Well, they're right.  I believe it's important to think outside of the box and keep an open mind for investment opportunities and strategies that have yet to become mainstream.  And, I believe it's key to keep it simple.   

That's why I started to teach people about commodities investing.  I discovered that many people don't know how to get started investing.  And, often people don't know all the benefits of commodities investing.   

I want to offer people easy to understand, consolidated information on investing that can be used quickly.  . 

A lot of the content on the Internet is geared towards experienced traders and it's not organized in a step-by-step easy to understand format for people with little or no commodities investment experience. Most of the information out there doesn't help people understand all the investment options that are available to them.  

And, investment websites don't teach people about one very important element of investing:  personal power.  

Helping people gain a personal edge

A key part to successful investing is being prepared for success on the inside.  To gain the most from your goals--whether they're financial or otherwise----it's key to have a powerful foundation.  That’s why I integrate wisdom with financial education.  The power of the mind is the most important tool we have to achieve our deeply-felt goals.  

My philosophy is that unless one is prepared for wealth on the inside, all the money-making strategies and investment knowledge one accumulates will have limited benefit.  It's generally not our external reality that limits us or empowers us, but it's rather our inner reality---our beliefs--- that creates the results in our lives. 

Even though I have a degree in psychology, I have to admit that I learned much more about the powers of the mind by studying unconventional avenues of knowledge.  I've spent a decade learning from spiritual teachers, personal development experts, scientists and others who are dedicated to humanity's conscious evolution.  

Today, I integrate knowledge about investing in the financial markets with investing in one's personal power.  I help people in two ways: 1)  teaching individuals how to invest in unique investment opportunities with minimal resources and little time and 2) empowering people with knowledge on how to invest in themselves to develop inner power and achieve maximum happiness.

 Invest in the financial markets
to make money and protect your assets

What are commodities?  Commodities are natural resources that you use everyday including:

• energy products (e.g., crude oil, natural gas)
• metals (e.g., gold, nickel, copper, lead)
• agricultural products (e.g., wheat, coffee, sugar)

Why commodities?  There has been enormous changes taking place in the world economy that have created massive demand for commodities.  In fact, you’d have to go back over 60 years to see world demand for commodities as huge as it is today.  

China, India, Brazil, Mexico ---even the U.S.---are using up reserves as fast as they can be produced.  Worldwide demand for commodities is growing rapidly as emerging countries increasingly develop their economies.  But the supply of commodities is much too low to meet rising global demand.  This means rising commodity prices.

With major changes taking place in the global economy and investment industry, you can not afford to ignore commodities-related investment opportunities.

Three Reasons to Invest in Natural Resources Such As
Gold, Copper, Oil and Corn

1.  The dynamics of low supplies and high global demand of commodities means rising commodity prices and investment opportunities for you.

2.  Hard assets, such as commodities, can rise even when the economy is going downward or stuck.  They can make you money and protect your money during a bear market in stocks, during inflation and economic instability. 

3.  By investing in more than just stocks and bonds, you can truly diversify your investment plan and protect yourself from unnecessary risk of loss of capital.  

 
The window of investment opportunity for you is wide open now.  The dynamics of supply and demand are pushing commodity prices up and will do so for years to come.  While there may be some short-term downward movements ("corrections"), the long-term picture favors natural resources. 

Below are just a few examples of how commodities have performed in the past.
