Commodities may surge with more money printing and inflation, a weaker dollar, but also with economic recovery. Many exciting raw materials exist, not only the usual crude oil or gold. Why are European stock underperforming, and which 35 Zoom alternatives did we found?
I’m more and more engaged in commodity market investments. Because of the huge money printing of central banks, the economic growth expected next year, and the electric car revolution. All these can raise prices. Unlike equities, many commodity market investments aren’t really expensive yet, especially when past inflation is also taken into account. Lumber is an interesting commodity, even after this year’s price explosion.
But stocks are also essential from today’s portfolio. The question is better: which country, region, and especially which sector to choose after so many price increases. Europe seems undervalued. Or, is it only the usual value-growth discrepancy?

8 Compelling Reasons to Watch Commodity Investments
Perhaps, people should buy more gold and other raw materials. (And, also cryptocurrencies.) Some economists are predicting the collapse of the dollar and other fiat money types. In the first place, because of the exponential acceleration of money printing, or the “endless quantitative easing” we experience this year.

- Fiat currencies may depreciate, the dollar already moves in a falling trend.
- Where are commodities in the super-cycle?

I heard that gold is not a great investment option because lot of gold is there in some asteroid and plan is to dig up that gold, when that's done the price of gold will tank like the venezulean currency it seems...
It is possible. Something similar happened in the centuries 16-17 as Spaniards flooded Europe with new gold and silver from America. The consequence was a huge inflation. (Bu not so much as in Venezuela).
But I'm not sure if this asteroid was discovered, or is only a theoretical possibility. Maybe the next big story - investment bubble - will be in the space exploration sector, asteroid mining.
