I'm Brazilian and around here orange juice has also gone up. Precisely because it is more profitable to export.

@@TheBooban Brazilian coffee production suffered from some weather events last year. I think Brazil is no longer a major cocoa producer. Yes, chocolate and coffee are more expensive in Brazilian supermarkets. Inflation is a global problem.

That's why we need to invest strategically hard in industry and put this "the world's farm" notion to bed. Despising industry and its role on development will make Brazil lag at least 50 years behind its major trade partners (i.e. USA and China) forever

If Florida is not suitable to efficiently produce oranges just let Mexico and Brazil specialize in growing them since they have the proper conditions to meet demand. Protectionism is what causes these prices to skyrocket. A strong dollar should make imported oranges cheaper but it doesn’t help when the government places a large tariffs on these cheaply imported commodities to compete with local producers who are not efficiently producing at all!

Jon - What industry do you work in? Can we outsource it to Brazil or Mexico so you lose your job?

@jon6309 Жыл бұрын

I work in wealth management for a local trust firm that focusing on local institutional clients in Hawaii. Sure they can outsource my job to a third world country but my employer is smart enough to consider that third world countries are not familiar with the local culture and our clients specific expectations so outsourcing my job is a huge risk they cannot afford to take if it will tarnish the service and reputation of the company to these well established institutions. I don’t know why red neck trump supporters don’t just focus on specializing on what we are good at and just outsourcing the rest. It’s ironic to advocate for protectionism in industries that are inefficient and then complain why prices for the same goods and services from these inefficient industries are so expensive!

@@VintageToiletsRock then we should be allocating our resources to produce something else we are more efficient with to offset leverage. The USA is very suitable for producing corn which Mexico and Brazil does not have the same capacity to produce but have a high preference for the crop. The USA does not use it as trade leverage but instead uses it for unnecessary domestic consumption for things like corn syrup when other substitutes are actually more better to consume!

Things in general are going up all the time. Has a lot to do with currency debasement, but the other part is scarcity. For example: the last few years we have hit peak oil availability. Meaning now we are on a decline in resource availability. Tie that into population growth. Goes for every commodity. It’s a natural resource and there only a fine amount left after a century + or two of industrial use. Basically, things will get a lot more expensive because the commodity pool is shrinking.

Futures contracts are not used to make profit. They are used to hedge against price volatility. Companies will buy and sell these based on risk mgmt. key word companies. It is very hard for individuals to invest in these due to the size of the contracts. Plus these contracts are used to pay for these goods or sell them at a future date. One way you could invest in them would be an ETF but it would be a small share of a single contract

To a point everything is gambling. We lack the ability to see the future. Buying a house is gambling, there's no guarantee it'll appreciate with time. JOB SECURITY, is as close to guaranteed as possible, even then it's primarily for gov jobs. Most investors that trade for a living do so because they want to live without a job. It's mainly gambling for uneducated participants. It's investing for the educated.
