Investments to avoid



The business cycle has two major phases:
  1. stronger than average growth and
  2. weaker than average growth.
Commodities - as I have been writing ad nauseam - do not perform well in a weaker than average economy.

Caterpillar sales record proves my point (see above chart). Commodity-sensitive asset classes and investments do not perform well in a weak economy.
