    Ive researched the people I believe to be engineering the current financial situation and believe i know which commodity they intend to create a shortage of over the next couple of years.
    Unfortunately i have zero financial training or experience and don't know how to take advantage of what i know

    Would anyone be willing to hold my hand in making a dollar , in exchange for the info?

    He's playing games Hiho, it's the pork bellies. Why would they create a shortage of copper? It's the least useful metal of them all.

    Now a shortage of pork bellies, that would be a serious problem.

    Copper is used to pipe water supplies. The metal is also used in refrigerators and air conditioning systems.
    Computer heat sinks are made out of copper as copper is able to absorb a high amount of heat.
    Magnetrons, found in microwave ovens, contain copper.
    Vacuum tubes and cathode ray tubes both use copper.
    Some copper is added to fungicides and nutritional supplements.
    As a good conductor of electricity, copper is used in Copper wire, electromagnets and electrical relays and switches.
    Copper is a great water-proof roofing material. It has been used for this purpose since ancient times.
    Some structures, such as the Statue of Liberty, are made with copper.
    Copper is sometimes combined with nickel to make a corrosion resistant material that is used in shipbuilding.
    Copper is used in lightning rods. These attract lightning and cause the electrical current to be dispersed rather than striking, and possibly destroying, a more important structure.
    Copper(II) sulfate is used to kill mildew.
    Copper is often used to color glass. It is also one component of ceramic glaze.
    Many musical instruments, particularly brass instruments, are made out of copper.

    Roman to paraphrase Billy Joel,

    You may be right, you may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic your looking for.

    I hope you have factored capability into your research. Food is about the only area that the West controls enough of to create any kind of shortage. And unpredictable weather makes control of the food supply extremely unlikely.

    You might as well share your information with the board and then you will get some advice. Even if everyone on this board acted on your beliefs, we would not affect the price of the commodity. We are thousands out of billions.

    Its not something i saw on youtube ,i found it by chance, researching the powers that be,and it sticks out like dog's balls.
    Again i'm a financial moron , and i haven't the first clue how to invest in a commodity I cant physically buy.
    I tried 2 brokers and they wanted to know all my assets and so on , which didnt impress me. Then warned me of fluctuations destroying my capital, which I didnt understand.

    Once I a have invested Im happy to share what it is , and why, so you can check my reasons for yourself.

    Please stop playing guesses its irritating the bejesus out me

    And we are all cynical, so even if you tell us, majority of us will just shoot you down.

    Telling us we are irritating you won't get you help. So far, you're not making the best case for yourself.

    I dont need money , I need close advice on how to invest in a commodity over a long term , say 2 years. With a fixed outlay and no need to make account of my net worth to some broker.
