Read MoreU.S. stocks boomed in the last nine months of 2009, but remained well below earlier highs. Indeed, many people referred to the first 10 years of the 21st century as “the lost decade,” because stocks returned virtually nothing while investors had been conditioned to expect 10% a year. Meanwhile, bonds and commodities experienced a stunning run. Have the rules of investing changed?
I did not record this podcast, but I thought it would be interesting to compare Jeremy Siegel to some of the podcasts I’ve done with commodity traders so you can get a feel and put things in perspective.

Marc Rich
I recorded a podcast with Daniel Ammann, author of The King of Oil, a biography of physical commodity trader Marc Rich. Ammann is Editor at Die Weltwoche, a German-language weekly paper in Zurich. His book is excellent and I highly recommend it.
Readers will learn much about the physical commodities markets, as opposed to the “paper” markets of commodity futures. More importantly, they will learn a very different side of Marc Rich that has not made it’s way through the American media as did President Clinton’s pardon.

Jeremy Siegel is still talking his book, literally.
Victor Sperandeo: Ben Bernanke never owned a future contract in his life. He might own a mutual fund, but my guess is he doesn’t know what’s in it.

“The price of gold is a referendum on the quantity and quality of paper money.”
George Soros called gold the “ultimate asset bubble,” but he didn’t say when it would occur. Then he quadrupled his initial stake.
