At the same time, Rogers　started his own commodities index fund. It is now the single-best per-forming index fund in the world in any asset class, Less risky than　stocks and less sluggish than bonds, commodities are where the money is--and will be in the years ahead.
　　 Rogers's strategies are simple and straightforward. You can start smatl--a few thousand dollars will suffice. It's all about putting your money into stuff you understand: the basic materials of everyday life,from copper to sugar to cotton. Once you recognize the cyclical and historical trading patterns outlined here, you'll be on your way. For small investors and high rollers alike, Hot Commodities is as good as gold . . . or lead, or aluminum, which are some of the commodities Rogers says could be just as rewarding for investors.
