Quoted in the Asia Business Times, he says that the rise of countries like China and India means the current boom in the commodities market could well last another 15 years. As Rogers says, "If you want to be in a bull market, it is in raw materials, natural resources and commodities." You can see his point. Gold and silver prices recently hit highs not seen in almost 20 years. Copper, aluminum and zinc prices have also raced up to new highs in the past week. And experts believe gold has some way to go before cooling off. Could prices test the all-time high of US$875 per ounce seen at the end of the 1980's? Maybe. But they would have to soar a further 40% from current levels to do so. Food and agricultural products such as sugar, soybeans and coffee are also experiencing significant price rises. Bottom line: countries like Australia, Canada, Brazil and Argentina will continue to reap the rewards.
