Paládium a striebro

Komoditou s najlepším zhodnotením za 2010 bolo paládium. Počas minulého roka získalo 96%. Najhoršou zemný plyn. Stratil 21% (čo môže byť výzvou pre 2011+). Počas poslednej dekády najlepšou investíciou bolo striebro. Priemerné ročné zhodnotenie bolo 21%. Ani zlato na tom nie je zle: 17,97% každý rok.

Palladium was the top performer, rising over 96 percent during 2010. Part of this rise can be attributed to the explosion of auto sales in emerging markets since palladium is a critical component of catalytic converters in cars. Marketwatch reported in December that Johnson Matthey estimates palladium demand to have risen 27 percent in 2010.

Silver (up 83.21 percent), corn (up 51.75 percent) and wheat (up 46.68 percent) were next in line. Natural gas was the worst performer, falling more than 21 percent—its third-straight year of declines.

Looking over the past decade, you can see how strong the commodity space has been. Nine of the 14 commodities have averaged a double-digit gain per year since 2001. Silver has been the best performer, averaging a 21 percent rise each year, but lead (up 18.25 percent annually) and copper (up 18.1 percent annually) aren’t far behind.

The past ten years have been very kind to gold investors. Since 2001, gold has had a positive return each year and has averaged 17.97 percent a year.
