Futures For You by Carley Garner

Futures For You by Carley Garner COMMODITIES AND RECESSIONS Is it safe to invest in commodities during an economic recession? Given the economic turmoil we are experiencing, I have been asked this question often. Before I answer, there are a few points I would like to make. I have yet to find a scenario in which it is appropriate to use the word “safe” when trading in options and futures. There are strategies in which risk can be relatively low, but in my opinion, “safe” implies there is no risk, and that isn’t the case. My idea of a safe investment is the purchase of Treasury bills, not speculating in highly leveraged markets.
