The most important meal of the day is breakfast, and lately the trend could only have mattered more and more looking from a financial point of view. The soft commodities such as orange juice, cocoa, sugar and coffee has risen sharply in 2009, some as high as 28%, and reached peaks not seen before.

Softs are consumeables, have a short lifespan (at least compared to gold), and are a daily nessesity. Add to that a growing population worldwide and a growing need to dominate the commodities markets as well as credit crisis in the regular stock market, and you have a secure market.

Usually gold prices are going up everytime the dollar is spinning downwards, and it did this time as well. Only difference is that most investors seemed to turn to a higher diversification of their portfolio and probably ended up looking at the lucrative soft commodities market.

Italkcash.com advice: Go into softs, they will be a dominant factor next year. And remember, people always need to eat and drink.
