😎 Move Over, Lumber, There’s a New Top-Performing Commodity 😎

Good morning. The first half of the year saw endless stories about the impact of rising lumber...

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. The first half of the year saw endless stories about the impact of rising lumber prices. From adding thousands to the cost of a new home, as well as showcasing supply chain issues in the timber industry, prices have heavily pulled back from their peak but are well above their levels a year ago. Well, there's a new commodity making big moves higher: Coffee. A combination of robust demand, and the potential supply shock from frost in Brazil have caused coffee prices to jump over 30 percent in the past two months. While this will moderate in time, at least paying an extra quarter for a cup o' joe isn't going to significantly add to housing costs. But it shows the trading opportunities in the commodity space, which often looks a lot like a game of musical chairs, with one name dominating while another quietly sets up to be the next leader. Now here's the rest of the news: Sponsored Content The #1 way to play semiconductors It's all over the news – there's an extreme shortage of semiconductors.

Of course, no one can promise you'll see 7,991% gains… but that's one HUGE example of this intriguing way to play semiconductor stocks. So what is this "better way" to play semiconductor stocks?
