Join Dave Hightower, president of The Hightower Report, for a lively discussion on an exciting new era in commodities. After two decades of commodity price deflation, rapid economic development in Asia has sparked a resurgence of demand for physical materials. Add to this mix the increased presence of fund traders and you have the potential for unparalleled price action. Dave will discuss ways to capitalize on this resurgence in the commodity markets by using combinations of futures and options. Sponsored by CBOT, Intershow & ADM Investor Services.
