By Ann Randon


It is no great surprise that the time to buy commodities, including mining stocks is now. Knowing how to invest in mining stocks is the most important thing to learn in today's economy. I know that you the reader might be having issues with investing since the recession, but mining stocks is a lot safer than conventional stocks.

While looking at historical charts and quotes, you might find that investing in commodities is the safest investment in the market. Mining and natural resources are different than traditional stocks. Natural resources, food, and minerals are a need that may never end.

A good tactic when choosing a mining stock is to look at what is being mined and what is being used by manufacturers. Gold, when this article was written, was breaking records for high prices. So, the logical step is not to buy gold right now but look at silver, platinum, and other fine metals.

A smart investor will look at the historical charts and find out the cycle of demand and supply. Many mining stocks cycle in time periods that can go as far back as twenty years. Once a cycle is discovered, the investor can look at what material is at its lowest and when the upswing begins.

There are several resources where you can find these historical charts. You can talk to a brick and mortar broker or you can go online to find a plethora of stock charts. Look at the metal you want to invest in and then at a company that mines that metal. You will see some companies have an upswing while others are falling. Look for a pattern in the sine wave and invest on the beginnings up an upswing.

Sometime reading historical charts are hard, but make sure you get information for at least five years. Just looking at one day of change will not give you the complete picture. Even if you look at just one years worth of change, it is still not enough to make an informed decision.

So knowing how to invest in mining stocks is essential for the average Joe to make his mark on the market. With commodities you just have to shake off the paranoia and be ready to take the bull market by the horns. Pick a commodity, research the company, and then invest on a down swing or beginning up swing of the mining stock of your choice. You are sure to make your money grow if you choose your stock wisely.
