GM30: The Era of Weather Volatility ft. Shawn Hackett
Top Traders Unplugged
Agribusiness Stocks - Where Does the Return Come From?
Agricultural industry booms when everyone is busting, he says. "It's on the other side of the economic moat" He argues that Cargill and ADM are able to take advantage of this arbitrage volatility between countries.
Today, we are joined by Shawn Hackett, Founder of Hackett Financial Advisors, for a conversation on how changes in weather and weather volatility affects the economy and you as an investor. We discuss the role and state of agriculture and the impact of climate change, the mechanisms of the climate and why understanding the big picture of weather cycles is so important, how we are transitioning into a new weather cycle, what it means for the crop production and important indicators for predicting crop yields. We also discuss why Hackett view the value of commodities the same way he view the value of stocks and why being aware of where we are in the climate and economic cycles is critical, why long term planning is a key factor in managing risk, how to approach agriculture and commodities in general in your investment strategy and much more.
