Default Re: Old Soros Partner Thinks Commodities are the way to go

Name a commodity that hasn't over the last twenty five years.

Olive oil and some types of lumber, for starters. But with that said, 1980 is a bad starting point because of high inflation and high commodity prices (relative to a few years later). I suspect Julian was well aware of this when he made his famous bet. If you start in 1982-1983 and try to name commodities that have outpaced inflation, there are quite a few.
