Investment Glossary



Commodities - Commodities typically refer to products produced naturally, such as:

  • fruits and vegetables, coffee, wheat, and other grown food items
  • cattle, livestock, and other farm animals
  • gold, silver, and other minerals found naturally
  • oil and natural resources

Investing in commodities is not easy, as it is often difficult to predict the rise and fall of these items. It is recommended that anyone investing in commodities do so only as a part of an otherwise balanced portfolio.
