Have most people moved their money out of stocks and into commodities?


The stock market is down from it's highs by quite a bit. There must be more options purchasing and commodities, futures and foreign markets playing going on.

Or bonds...

Of course. Big investors & hedge funds buy commodities to hedge against expected depreciation of dollar, inflation and weakness of financial (stock) markets, as commodity prices are inversely correlated to stock markets performance. This fact explains a large part of the all-time-record prices recently reached by several commodities.

Most people just don't have any money.

Yes I think so.And the financial analysts agree

I'm make a lot of money just trading the vol on stocks. Maybe you should try that instead.

most average people don't know what they heck they're doing when it comes to investing. they do what the folks on cnbc tell them what to do...now, where the "big dogs" are putting their money, that's the real question.
