Viral emails

As I checked my email inbox over the weekend I found two worthy emails – the first of which was one of those viral emails from a European friend. You must know the type by now: A funny anecdote that for some unknown reason the original sender pleads for the reader to please forward to at least another ten friends. Failure to do so will result in imminent death or something even less appealing. Anyway, you get my drift.

Reading on, this email informed me that this year’s college intake was born in 1991 and then proceeded to explain some of the things these freshman had never experienced such as life without a VCR or an answer phone.

Did you know, for example, that this generation has always had cable television, the Internet and cell phones? While they never had McDonalds served in Styrofoam – they always had McDonalds fast food. For the generation that includes their parents, of course life was different. It was certainly not the case that any of us was born into a world shocked by AIDS, for instance. But my favorite item on the list, because I recall spending countless hours playing with my father’s 1928 relic, was that none of this year’s intake knows how to operate a typewriter!

The second email was from Jurojin Master, Black Bear a.k.a. Sean Brodrick prompting me to listen to the review of Friday’s extremely well attended and exclusive online event in which Sean and company expressed their views on the commodity markets from pretty much every which way from an investor’s perspective.

Also speaking was fellow founding member of the Secret Order of Jurojin, Kevin Kerr, who made a comment, which really hit home - as he discussed the changing dietary habits of the developing world as they became less poor.

Kevin points out in the webinar that as incomes improve across the world, people in developing and industrializing nations will command better diets. During the presentation he illustrates the point with a picture of a Chinese family along with its weekly food intake, including Kentucky Fried Chicken resting on the table. As I think back to my own childhood, I realize what a treat McDonalds was at the time: Today, children take it for granted.

Kevin and Sean’s observations are quite right and the trading strategies they encourage attempt to harness such inevitable trends in both the long and short haul – how you make use of such information depends on your investing perspective.

If you missed Friday’s webinar – its only 51 minutes long, but well worth the listen. Click the link below to view the recording.
