In 2008, the best physical commodity investment is 52. I mean the No. 52th element, tellurium. Does 52 sounds as misterious as area 51 to you? That's all the good reason why this is an excellent investment, because few people even knows it! read this: The Tellurium Supernova If you want something a little bit more liquid, then try palladium, and the only primary palladium producers in the whole world, PAL and SWC. http://www.seekingalpha.com/article/55173-palladium-an-investable-metal-that-defies-physics
Tellurium, of course, is used in the CdTe, cadmium telluride, solar panels by First Solar (FSLR). But it's way much more than that. An element more rare than platinum and currently sold in pounds, will be sold in grams in the next few years. As for palladium, it will soon be more expensive than platinum, way much more expensive! Most people only kow palladium as used in auto catalyst converters: But palladium jewelries are becoming ever more popular, especially in China: More importantly palladium is oing to find broad application in fuel cells, like hydrogen fuel cell cars like this one: Or DMFC fuel cell batteries for mobile electronics It's a shame that while PGM metals rally to all time highs: The PAL price is ridiculously at multi-year low: Do your DD on this stock. It's poised to go much higher.
The implication of tellurium super bull, is that the destination of the red hot solar company FSLR, is an inevitable DOOM. So FSLR is the best short in the marketplace in 2008.
Nobody talks about precious metals? And don't you think this is ridiculous I wonder what exactly is that people don't like this chart as a perfect buying point?
